7 + plus verbal reasoning explained
Verbal language development in children starts at a very young age - before reading and writing. The child essentially conveys his thoughts and behaviour through the expression of words. It also plays a crucial role in cognitive development and social interactions, as well as academic success. In fact, one of the reasons why verbal reasoning is assessed in the 7 Plus exam in Year 2, is because it can help children identify problems, and come up with creative and analytical solutions.
Although some schools offer syllabi and guidelines, it can be challenging for parents to understand precisely which topics they need to address, and how to do it properly. As an experienced tutor, I offer a step-by-step strategy that will equip your child with the knowledge and assurance needed to handle every area of the curriculum and the different types of exam questions they may encounter, by breaking down the Verbal Reasoning assessment into smaller parts.
By adopting a methodical approach, your child will be provided with a defined structure and framework that covers every aspect of the subject. As a parent, you can rest assured knowing that this will make your child's preparation for the 7 Plus exam much easier and less stressful.
Through private tutoring (whether online or in one-on-one sessions) I connect with students in a pleasant and friendly manner, but I also provide a lot of guidance and ideas for parents throughout the 7 Plus journey. It is important to note that some schools may compile reasoning questions from both verbal and nonverbal sources into a single Reasoning exam, while others might opt to include verbal and nonverbal reasoning components in their math and English papers, rather than having a separate reasoning paper at all.
