Description

Includes: 64 pages featuring over 200 challenging words. Digital answers are included with purchase.

Please note that this is a physical book and a digital copy will not be provided.

The Illustrated Wordier Workbook is a new and updated version of the vocabulary books that we’ve used for years with our weekly pupils. Each chapter provides photo illustrations and word clues that encourage children to think about each word carefully before selecting an answer. Crucially, the book is peppered with revision exercises (which are sorely lacking in most vocabulary books) to ensure that your child remembers the meanings of new words long after they’ve finished this book.

FREE BONUS: Includes free online revision games and flashcards.

Great for:

  • Short exercises to supplement work at home.
  • Cloze test practice.
  • Practising using words in sentences and in different ways.
  • Understanding similar words and the differences between them.
  • Learning Latin and Greek roots to help children to decode new words in future.
  • Structured revision of new vocabulary to aid long-term retention.

  1. Victoria D

    Definitely worth it
    The Vocabulary Workbook is packed with new words for my son – he likes doing the exercises and I hear him using some of the words he learned!

  2. Sabah Hadi

    Excellent vocabulary resources. I’ve both the book and the flash cards. They are of high quality not just material wise but content is rich and extremely helpful. A useful resource for those preparing for the 11 plus but also generally for anyone looking to help themselves or their children expand their vocabulary. Would recommend.

  3. Sola

    This book is just so great. My little one is enjoying it and learning new words. I recommend this book!

  4. Anastasia Zhitnyuk

    Excellent materials, great vocabulary course and so important for 11+ exams. My daughter enjoyed the course, flash cards and the Wordier book and received a fantastic score in verbal reasoning at Bexley test, followed by 100% in reasoning at Kent. Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What’s the difference between Wordier Live and Wordier On Demand?

The Wordier Live courses are always delivered live with a tutor at the same time every week. This means children can ask questions and try out new words in sentences so they can get feedback and corrections when needed.

Wordier Live parents usually find that this format is more engaging for their child and, as a result, it is easier to convince the child to attend. They also appreciate having a set schedule for classes, which helps to ensure that learning stays on track.

The Wordier On Demand is the pre-recorded version of Wordier Live. The classes contain the same great content as Wordier Live but without interaction with a tutor.

Wordier On Demand parents tend to favour this format because they can go through several sessions a week rather than waiting for the next class to be held.

 

Who is this course for?

Classes are aimed at children ages 8 to 11, with a particular focus on Year 4 and 5 students doing the 11+.

Year 6 children are also welcome to attend. Many of our 11+ students love the classes so much that they choose to stay on the course during Year 6, even after they have finished their exams.

 

What happens if my child doesn’t like the course?

If you find that the course isn’t right for your child at this time, you can use our Joy Guarantee to receive a hassle-free refund on the remainder of the course. Simply email us at hello@wordier.online to receive your refund.

Note: Joy Guarantee applies to Wordier Live only.

 

Can my Year 3 child join the classes?

We recommend our courses for anyone in Year 4 and above, mainly because they’re fast-paced, involve a fair amount of writing and it might be a little difficult for Year 3s to keep up with. But we have had some energised and ambitious Year 3s complete our courses, so if you think your child is ready, you’re welcome to give them a try. If you do, we recommend that you sit in on their first session, even if it’s just for moral support!

If the class is too challenging, you can use our Joy Guarantee to get a refund for the rest of the module. You can always rejoin when your child’s a little older, with the added benefit of seeing how it works already!

 

How does the course run?

Each weekly class is delivered live on Zoom by an experienced tutor. 24-48 hours before the class, you’ll receive the worksheets for the week as well as a short preliminary video for your child to watch.

During the class, children’s microphones are muted to avoid students shouting out or monopolising the conversation. This helps us to ensure that all children receive recognition during class and can submit an answer in their own time.

Students are encouraged to submit questions, answers and example sentences via the chat function. Our tutors then acknowledge and respond to these questions in real-time.

We recommend printing the worksheets every week, however, your child can simply use a paper and pencil to follow along if you don’t have access to a printer.

 

What happens if my child misses a class?

All of our classes are recorded and the recording is sent out to parents the day after the class. You can, therefore, watch the class later in the week.

All parents will receive access to the class recording, whether or not their child attended.

 

How does the vocabulary contest work?

From Week Two, we’ll run a 10-minute vocab contest at the end of each class, testing kids on words from the previous week. We like to encourage some friendly competition, so our top scorers are awarded with emoji medals.

 

Do you provide any homework?

Yes. We’ll send out a revision link for the most recent session each week – these include online games and short quizzes to help kids refresh their memories.

 

Is the vocab on your course the same as the words from your flashcards/workbooks?

There’s a little bit of overlap between our Wordier Live course and our Wordier Tools, but we’ve designed them so there’s lots of variation. Sometimes it’s helpful for kids to see familiar words, but we also want to give everyone lots of words to learn in the most effective way.

 

How many classes does my child need to do to cover all of the 11+ vocabulary?

There is no official list of 11+ vocabulary, which means that your child’s exam could technically feature any variety of words from the English language. That’s why we recommend completing as many of the Wordier courses and materials as possible. All “Wordier words” have been carefully selected from 11+ past papers, practice papers and our experience in working with over a thousand 11+ students.

 

Should my child complete vocabulary books from other providers in addition to using Wordier?

Wordier provides a comprehensive vocabulary system, which means children do not need to supplement their Wordier work with vocabulary books from other providers.
