About the 11+ GL English Comprehension Practice Book & Assessment Tests - Ages 8-9 (with Online Edition)
If your Year 4 child is working towards the GL 11+ exam, this CGP 11+ GL English Comprehension Practice Book & Assessment Tests for Ages 8-9 delivers the focused, exam-style practice they need to tackle reading comprehension with confidence. Designed for children aged 8–9, it breaks down essential skills step by step before bringing everything together in realistic timed tests, so your child builds both accuracy and speed for the GL English paper.

The first section focuses on one comprehension skill at a time—understanding inference, identifying language techniques, analysing structure—using a wide variety of fiction, non-fiction and poetry extracts. Once your child has mastered individual skills, nine timed assessment tests in the second section mirror real exam conditions, helping them improve under pressure and pinpoint any remaining gaps. Every question is backed by detailed answers that explain the reasoning, so you can support revision without second-guessing. A progress tracker at the back lets you see how scores improve over time, and a glossary clarifies technical terms. The book even includes a free online edition accessed via a unique code inside the cover, plus downloadable multiple-choice answer sheets for the assessment tests.

By the time your child completes this workbook, they'll approach GL comprehension passages with calm familiarity, knowing exactly what each question type demands and how to manage exam time effectively. The combination of focused skill practice and full-length tests ensures steady progress, so families feel prepared rather than overwhelmed in the run-up to the 11+. Published by CGP and available as a physical book with free digital access, it's a comprehensive resource that fits around your schedule.
This practice book suits any Year 4 pupil preparing for the GL 11+ English exam, whether you're starting early or sharpening skills closer to test day. Its clear layout, thorough explanations and realistic test conditions mean you can guide revision at home without specialist tuition, building the comprehension confidence your child needs to succeed.
