The ‘How to Guide’ to Verbal Reasoning

By Divya Mistry-Patel

This Verbal Reasoning book allows your child to work at their own pace through a supportive, step-by-step guide, with illustrations to help build your childs confidence. Your child can monitor their own learning and it is easy for you to review their progress too. If your child does ask for help then we have provided examples and answers to allow you to help them succeed.

Verbal Reasoning not only helps challenge your child, it also allows them to become more analytical and creative as they have the opportunity to send in their own examples of the 21 different types.

Hello, okay so first things first, breathe. Repeat after me, ‘I’ve got this’. Now say it like you mean it. I’m listening.

I’m V Mouse and I’ll be taking you through each type of question given in Verbal Reasoning, step-by-step, to help you pass your Eleven Plus Exam. This exam is taken to help you get into a fantastic school that everyone wants to go to!

Okay, so this is going to look like some James Bond style code, but it’s easy once you get your head around it. Most of the types have to do with finding patterns within the alphabet. Just follow the step-by-step instructions. I’ll be right here to help you, but I’m not going to read it to you when you don’t understand it: you are. Read Yo, trust me it works! Just remember to fill out the reflection and notes section at the back after each type you practice.

Remember what I said, you’ve got this! Now let’s go kick some Verbal Reasoning behind!
