I've been using Exam Ninja books for around five years to help my nine-year-old daughter with her schooling. We buy a set for each year and my daughter works her way through them, a little each day, with my assistance. These are an excellent resource for boosting a child's learning journey and supporting the school curriculum.

About the GL 11+ English Workbook (Ages 8-9)

The GL 11+ English Workbook (Ages 8-9) from CGP gives Year 4 pupils a solid foundation in every English skill tested by GL Assessment and other 11+ providers, including the Kent Test. Designed specifically for children at the start of their 11+ journey, this workbook combines focused topic practice with realistic assessment tests, so your child builds accuracy and confidence before tackling mixed-question papers under timed conditions.

Each section begins with clear, topic-by-topic exercises covering comprehension, vocabulary, cloze and writing, allowing your child to master one skill at a time without feeling overwhelmed. Once they're comfortable, full-length assessment tests mirror real exam conditions, helping them improve speed and stamina across a wide range of question styles. Detailed answers for every question are included, so you can support homework and quickly identify any gaps. As a bonus, the book comes with a free online edition—accessible on any PC, Mac or tablet using the unique code inside the cover—perfect for practice on the go or screen-based revision.

This resource is also ideal for children preparing for other 11+ test providers, including FSCE, CSSE, the Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET), as well as 11+ exams authored by individual grammar schools themselves.

While specifically designed for children preparing for the GL 11+ tests, the GL 11+ English Workbook (Ages 8-9) also provides excellent preparation for independent school entrance exams, typically held in the January - February period of Year 6.
