How would you structure your child’s 11+ schedule? We walk out at 8:30 am and return home at 6 pm. Between dinner, shower time, and a bedtime routine, I pretty much only have 30 minutes a day for homework.
How can you tell whether your child is genuinely fit for 11+? My daughter is keen to learn but after about 6 weeks of starting 11+ preparation I realised that she needs a lot of support getting the basics right first. She still doesn’t know all her times tables and tackling 11+ topics feels like such a steep learning curve. I almost feel cheated by her school reports now, I thought she was at a better level than she actually is (or perhaps my expectations are too high?). Did anyone consider practicing the basic national curriculum at home before moving on to 11+? If so, which books and resources would be best? My daughter is in year 4.
