This was bought for a 10 year old preparing for the 11 plus.
Her mother and I both loved it but she was unimpressed………Ah well, what 10 year old is going to be thrilled by a worthy book such as this.
It is nevertheless, a most excellent resource.
by Mr. P. Ollila
Thank goodness a book you can actually open up and look at without getting hit by a flood of colour codes, colour boxes, pictures and what have you. Having bought CGP Books English books for the same age group, I find this one far better structured, clean and clear. CGP I find extremely messy, no mess around here.

I used this book at school and I am 69. I bought it for my 10 year old grandchild. Theres lots of information and it provides educational value. She can dip in and out of it learning what she chooses

I like everything about it
by Kate Sawyer
I remember this book from my schooling. The variety of information, the easily explained rules of grammar, and so much more. The new version has the same good sections and has been given a modern twist. Very useful for pupil and teacher alike.

This was recommended to me by an 11+ tutor and they have used it successfully for many years. It is a bit of a strange book but it has so much information in it which is so relevant to the 11+ exams. A large portion, especially in Buckinghamshire, since 2018 focuses on English and vocabulary so this book is very useful in preparation for anyone taking the 11+. It’s interesting for children as it contains a huge amount of pictures so it’s not a textbook, at least doesn’t feel like one.
I wouldn’t recommend buying this book and simply giving it to your child to work through. It requires you to engage with your child and guide them through the exercises and information.

This is very detailed and covers a range of topics in English it is quite advanced for our 8 year old , I expect she could be refering to this when she is 9 or 10, The lists are really comprehensive for eg similes alone there are about 80 to go through – as busy as a bee, as sly as a fox etc
