About the GL 11+ Verbal Reasoning Workbook (Ages 8-9)
When your Year 4 child is starting their 11+ journey, you need a workbook that builds foundations without overwhelming them. The GL 11+ Verbal Reasoning Workbook (Ages 8-9) from CGP gives you exactly that: topic-by-topic practice followed by eight assessment tests, all pitched perfectly for 8–9-year-olds preparing for GL Assessment, the Kent Test, and other selective entrance exams. Every question comes with detailed answers that explain the reasoning, so your child—and you—can quickly understand where they went right or wrong.

This workbook tackles the challenge of early 11+ prep by breaking verbal reasoning into manageable topics—word pairs, closest meaning, hidden words, and more. Each section focuses on a single skill, so your child can master the method before moving on. Once they're confident, the eight timed assessment tests develop speed and stamina across mixed question types. The detailed answer section at the back doesn't just give the correct answer; it shows the working, helping you support revision at home even if verbal reasoning feels unfamiliar. Plus, a free online edition with the same content means practice can happen on a PC, Mac, or tablet whenever suits your family.

By the time your child finishes this workbook, they'll recognise question patterns, work more accurately under pressure, and feel genuinely ready for test day. The structured approach mirrors the format used by GL Assessment and the Kent Test, ensuring practice is relevant and exam-focused. Because CGP includes full explanations and a digital edition at no extra cost, you're not left guessing how to help—or buying additional resources. It's a complete, confidence-building package for Year 4 pupils taking their first serious steps towards selective school entry.
This workbook suits families beginning 11+ preparation in Year 4, especially those targeting GL Assessment or Kent Test formats. It's designed for home use, with clear instructions and answer guidance that make independent practice—and parental support—straightforward and stress-free.
