That is why our 11 Plus exam preparation for Year 4 students is aimed to gently introduce the core skills and confidence needed to excel in the 11 Plus exams
11 Plus Tuition in Year 4 is Essential?
Many parents wonder: “Isn’t Year 4 a bit early to start?” The short answer is: yes. Starting in Year 5 can often feel rushed and overwhelming. By beginning tuition in Year 4, your child is given the gift of time: time to build confidence, to practise without pressure, and to truly understand rather than memorise.
Year 4 is the time to:
- Build strong reading habits to grow vocabulary
- Master times tables and basic arithmetic
- Gain confidence in problem solving and comprehension
- Get used to a study routine with manageable daily tasks
11 Plus Preparation Year 4 Topics We Cover
We focus on reading comprehension, grammar, spelling, and vocabulary building. Children learn to understand and enjoy what they read, while gaining the language tools needed for success in written tasks and 11 Plus exam questions. We often incorporate 11 Plus practice papers to track progress.
Children build fluency in key topics such as number operations, fractions, percentages, and word problems. We make sure times tables and mental arithmetic are second nature, which is a must for confident performance in 11 Plus exam questions.
In Year 4, we start with the basics, introducing logical thinking, word patterns, and language puzzles. As children grow more confident, we gradually deepen their understanding using structured activities and
11 Plus practice papers.
Although we keep it light in Year 4, we introduce visual reasoning, sequences, and spatial skills to gently prepare children for what’s ahead. It’s always taught in an enjoyable, exploratory manner that keeps curiosity alive.
