Wordier Live brings vocabulary learning to an online community of kids, delivered by expert tutors every week, over six weeks.
Definition:
A set of six one-hour vocabulary group classes taught live by one of our expert tutors. We aim to introduce over 20 words a week.
Great for children studying for the 11+ (that’s Year 4 and above) but we always welcome younger, verbally ambitious children if they feel like they can keep up.
In these classes, kids will get:
Why We Made It:
We’d been teaching online classes for a while and they had become really popular with kids and parents – they were asking for more! So we spent time researching techniques and finding new and better ways to expose children to a large number of words in a shorter period of time. We wanted vocab to take centre stage and give kids a chance to test out words and decode them so they can learn even more.

If you want to see how our Wordier Live sessions run, or your child simply isn’t able to make it to the live sessions, try our video course, Wordier On Demand instead.*
*Watching these sessions will be helpful, but nothing will replace joining in, being called upon in class, interacting with our tutor and getting their brain into gear each week!

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wordier provides a comprehensive vocabulary system, which means children do not need to supplement their Wordier work with vocabulary books from other providers.
Discover how to boost your child’s vocabulary with practical strategies for home use, based on the latest research. Ideal for both educators and parents, dive into our blog for insights and join our vocabulary courses for hands-on guidance.
We don’t like to boast but there’s a lot to love about our 11 Plus vocabulary course. As educators, we like the fact that it’s science-backed, engaging for students and easy for parents. If you ask our students, however, they’ll
Help your child retain and recall new words from our 11+ vocab course with these effective revision methods. With the help of our free online games, class quizzes, vocabulary worksheets, and sentence practice, learning will be engaging, effective and fun!
Each of our weekly 11+ vocabulary classes ends with a cloze test (which our students love). Cloze tests, in case you were wondering, require children to fill in the missing word in the sentence. They test if a child understands
If you’re familiar with the Wordier teaching style, you’ll know that we’ve been teaching morphemes (i.e. root words, prefixes and suffixes) to our students for many years now. Our founder became a convert when she realised that just a few

Vocab classes and flashcards
The Wordier vocab classes have been invaluable for my daughter whilst preparing for the 11+. She has learnt many new words and more importantly retained them!
We also bought the flashcards which again have been brilliant and far more effective than any other flashcards we have tried. The pictures make remembering the word so much simpler.
I would highly recommend the classes and the cards.
Teng Shirley –
We subscribed to Wordier vocabulary courses during my son’s 11 plus preparation in year 5. He found these sessions fun, interactive and really useful.
The teacher will explain the origin of the words and allows you to workout meaning of others.
I have now subscribed to the summer booster course and continues to learn new words. As the course is online, we’re able to do this during our family holiday, which is a bonus. I would highly recommend this.

Pallavi –
Dear Kamilah, In complete awe of your vocabulary resources. Not only my 10 year but my 15 year old doing her GCSE’s loves the pictorial impact of your flash cards. It’s just so unique. Looking forward to your Set B. Your vocabulary courses are just so perfectly laid out and I can confidently say that my son’s vocabulary has definitely improved. Many thanks for everything. Will participate in the half-term vocab challenge.
Mackie –
Wordier has been an excellent top-up tool for my twin boys to learn their vocab. It was a wonderful group lesson that supported my boys’ one-to-one lessons well.
The mini competitions within the lessons also provided the healthy competition that my kids thrive on. The ease with which the kids can access the lesson, availability of lesson day options and access to recordings added to the efficiency and excellence of the service.
I highly recommend Wordier Live, as well as the colourful flash cards and book resources.
