Eliminate 11+ Stress
I’m really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow for the 'Handle 11+ Stress' session. We’ll be starting promptly at 7:30pm, so do try to join a few minutes early if you can. I would really encourage you to attend live.There’s something about being present in the session that makes a real difference, and you’ll be able to take more away from it. In this session, we’ll be looking at stress from both sides. LJ families, please check the Calendar for the link. If you are not a LJ family, you can book your place by clicking this link https://the11plusjourney.co.uk/product/handle-11-stress/ Charlotte will be sharing practical ways to help your child feel calmer, more at ease, and able to manage pressure better. And I’ll be focusing on what you can do at home from an academic point of view, simple things like - how to review tests properly - how to structure your week - how to bring more clarity into your child’s preparation - Because often, when things feel more organised, stress naturally comes down for both parent and child. It will be a calm, practical session with things you can take away and start using straight away. Looking forward to seeing you there.

The Importance of Going Beyond Tuition for 11 Plus Success
As you are a month into preparing your child for the 11 Plus exam, I want to share some insights on why tuition alone may not suffice to ensure success. Today, I will be hosting a webinar at 7pm to discuss this topic in detail. I will also share links that will help you do this in real-time. Click here to register for the webinar. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting. Why Tuition Isn’t Enough While tuition provides a solid foundation by covering the core subjects and skills tested in the 11 Plus, it often focuses on a general curriculum that may not address individual weaknesses or foster the depth of understanding needed to excel. It’s essential to supplement tuition with additional strategies to give your child the best chance of success. The Role of Extra Work Consistent practice is crucial in the journey towards passing the 11 Plus. Here are some reasons why extra practice can make the difference. - Tailored Learning: Extra practice allows for customised study plans that target your child’s specific areas of improvement. - Confidence Building: Familiarity with the exam format and types of questions can significantly boost a child’s confidence. - Skill Enhancement: Regular practice helps refine problem-solving skills and time management, both critical for the exam. Recommended Resources To support your child beyond tuition, consider utilising the following resources: - Workbooks and Practice Papers: These provide targeted exercises in verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, mathematics, and English. - Online Platforms: Websites like Bond Online, BOFA and Atom Learning offer interactive exercises and mock tests. - Study Groups: Encouraging your child to join study groups can foster peer learning and motivation. - Educational Apps: Apps like Quizlet can make learning more engaging and accessible. I’ll be covering more about these resources and how to effectively integrate them into your child’s study routine in today’s webinar.

Creative writing is about to change. Not because children’s writing is getting worse. But because AI is getting better.

This is by an established author who understands how examiners think. And this isn’t just a recorded course.

In a world of AI-generated everything, your child’s originality will be their advantage. If you’d like details or a preview, comment or message me “WRITING”. I’ll send you the details.

The 5-Minute Refusal Reset When your child says “I can’t.” “It’s too hard.” “I’m not doing it.” Don’t argue for 20 minutes. Instead Set a timer for 5 minutes. Just start. Most resistance melts once movement begins. It’s neurological, not laziness. This is for those families who are finding it harder to cope with the work or their child is simply losing interest in the prep.
