About the 11+ GL English Comprehension Practice Book & Assessment Tests (Ages 10-11)

If your child is preparing for the GL 11+ English exam, the 11+ GL English Comprehension Practice Book & Assessment Tests (Ages 10-11) gives them the focused, exam-style practice they need to approach reading questions with confidence. Designed for Year 5 and Year 6 pupils, this CGP workbook targets the comprehension skills tested by GL Assessment, helping your child recognise question types, sharpen retrieval and inference techniques, and manage their time under exam conditions.

Inside, you'll find a variety of passages covering fiction, non-fiction and poetry, each followed by questions that mirror the GL format. The book includes both shorter practice exercises to build technique and full-length assessment tests that replicate real exam timing and pressure. Every question is accompanied by detailed answers and explanations, so your child understands not just what the correct answer is, but why—turning mistakes into learning opportunities and building the reasoning skills examiners reward.

Regular practice with this workbook helps pupils arrive at their 11+ exam calmer and better prepared. They'll recognise the language of the questions, know how to support answers with evidence, and feel confident tackling everything from straightforward retrieval to trickier inference and vocabulary tasks.
