Price range: £49.00 through £124.00
A live, interactive 11+ vocabulary course taught through weekly online classes.
Wordier Live helps children understand ambitious vocabulary in comprehension texts, use it naturally in creative writing and spot word relationships quickly in verbal reasoning.
Each lesson combines discussion, pictures, morphology, sentence work and carefully planned retrieval activities.
Our science-backed methods move children beyond memorised definitions, so sophisticated language starts to feel usable and even fun.
Each Wordier vocabulary class includes:
✅ Expert teaching, thoughtful guidance and live interaction
✅ A live one-hour class from just £8.25 per session
✅ 20+ carefully-selected 11+ words
✅ Weekly worksheets and homework activities
✅ Weekly vocabulary tournament (optional)
Most 11+ students start the course in mid-Year 4 or early Year 5, when there is time to build vocabulary steadily and without pressure.
However, the course is entirely suitable for children joining later in Year 5 or even Year 6.
Starting early makes comprehension texts easier to navigate, boosts confidence in verbal reasoning, and helps creative writing flow more freely.
Science tells us that activities improve vocabulary nearly four times faster than reading alone – but only if you build vocab the right way.
Each 11+ vocabulary course includes:
🔤 Novel vocabulary: Every word on the course is carefully chosen for its 11+ suitability, so children learn vocabulary that is ambitious, useful and genuinely worth knowing.
👥 Interaction: Children test out new vocabulary for themselves, receive expert feedback, and learn from their tutor as well as their fellow Wordies.
🔒 Built-in revision: Words return again and again in different contexts, helping meanings settle deeply rather than disappear after one lesson.
🧩 Morphology: Children learn how words break down into meaningful parts, so unfamiliar vocabulary becomes easier to decode independently.
🖼️ Pictures and video: Visual cues give new vocabulary something to cling to, helping children picture unfamiliar words, remember them more easily and retrieve them later with confidence.
Wordier Live follows seven six-week modules across the year. That breaks down into 42 unique sessions, with over 800 carefully chosen words taught along the way.
A fresh module begins at the start of each half-term, with a seventh taught during the summer holidays.
As the modules are self-contained, you’re welcome to start with any module and join us mid-year, provided we have the space.
Mondays:
Summer Term 1 – 5 p.m. from 13 April to 18 May 2026 (5-week course)

(All times are in B.S.T.)
Wordier began with a tiny vocabulary workbook I wrote for my regular 11+ lessons. Soon enough, pupils were asking for more words, decoding unfamiliar ones with ease and suddenly describing English as a subject they loved rather than dreaded.
As vocabularies strengthened, texts became easier to navigate, ideas flowed more clearly and creative writing began to flourish.
It quickly became clear that vocabulary was not an optional extra but a key part of helping children become more confident and capable learners.
Fast forward many years and those mini-lessons are now a fully-fledged vocab course, with 42 unique, carefully-structured classes to teach vocabulary without the overwhelm.
Our vocabulary courses use the same science-backed methods I developed with those early students, packaged into lessons that are lively, memorable and designed to last.
Each lesson combines discussion, pictures, morphology, sentence work and carefully planned retrieval activities.
Our science-backed methods move children beyond memorised definitions, so sophisticated language starts to feel usable and even fun.

Classes last one hour. You may want to allow an extra 10 minutes at the end so your child can join our free weekly vocab challenge. For many, it’s their favourite part of the class.
(All times are in G.M.T.)
If these times don’t work for you, you can also explore our on-demand vocabulary course. Wordier On Demand contains the same carefully constructed vocabulary teaching, delivered in a flexible, watch-anytime format.
Each module in our 11+ vocabulary course introduces a carefully chosen set of ambitious words, designed for grammar school entrance exams, including the super-selectives.
Lessons build on one another, so learning feels steady, structured and meaningful.
Rather than working through vocabulary at random or in alphabetical order, Wordier students discover words through engaging themes.
Through these themes, children explore words more naturally and start to understand the subtle differences between them, like comparing monstrous behaviour with mere impish mischief.
In class, children are encouraged to think actively about each word, exploring it through example sentences, morphology, pictures and discussion. This helps new vocabulary feel clearer, more memorable and far easier to use.
Vocabulary can fade surprisingly quickly if it’s only seen once. That’s why we revisit new words throughout the lesson and later in the course, so vocab returns again and again until it sticks.
We reinforce new words through short online quizzes in class and a cloze (missing word) task at the end of each lesson. This gets kids thinking carefully about meaning and use, such as deciding whether phone books are lapsed or obsolete.
By talking through each word, trying it out in a sentence and discussing how it can be used, we help children become confident in using “Wordier words” beyond the classroom.
After class, children can review everything they’ve learned in both digital and written form.
Each course includes access to online quizzes, digital flashcards and games, so children can revisit vocabulary long after the lesson has ended.
We cap off each module with a review session where words return in new forms, alongside synonyms and antonyms, so vocabulary feels familiar, flexible and easier to use.
For many children, our weekly vocabulary challenge is their favourite part of the course, with some describing it as one of the highlights of their week.
Each challenge is based on the previous week’s vocab, giving children a clear reason to revise words after class and push themselves a little further.
We keep things friendly and supportive, celebrating personal bests as well as weekly winners, so children stay motivated without feeling pressured.
If you’d like to see how a Wordier lesson works in practice, you can watch a short preview below. You’ll see how we break words into meaningful parts to make definitions easier to understand and remember.
Every part of Wordier Live is designed that way for a reason. The structure of each lesson reflects what research tells us about how children learn and remember new vocabulary most effectively.
Reading is important for reinforcing vocabulary, but children learn words up to four times more quickly when they’re explained and discussed. That’s why every lesson includes interaction, discussion and guided activities.
Writing by hand engages more of our brains than typing, helping new memories to settle more securely. In Wordier lessons, children write definitions by hand during class, then use digital tools to revisit and reinforce what they have learned.
Our classes teach common morphemes, like pre-, anti-, mono- and spect, helping children to understand how words are constructed. Over time, they turn into word detectives who can decode unfamiliar vocabulary independently and with confidence.
This structured approach to vocabulary works particularly well for children who speak English as an additional language.
We’re far more likely to remember information when it is linked to images or stories. Wordier lessons use videos, photographs and short narratives to help children connect new vocabulary to what they already know, making meanings easier to understand and far easier to remember.

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.
Quest Assessments has published a new 11+ vocabulary list for the Bexley exam. Learn what appears in the Quest English paper, what the word list really means, and how children should prepare.
Discover why a vocabulary course can be more effective than just reading. Backed by research, Wordier’s 11-Plus vocabulary course uses morphology, images, themes, and proven memory techniques to make words stick — and keep kids motivated.
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

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.

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.
