A couple of years ago, I had a pupil called Dillon, who struggled with anything English related. 

When he came to me for 11+ tuition, his mum had told us that he had trouble with inferencing but it soon became apparent that his difficulties went beyond that – he had trouble with all types of comprehension questions and with cloze tests, too…

Talia loves books. She would read all the time and always turned up early to her 11+ classes (gold star!) with her head in a book. I could tell that she really enjoyed English, which isn’t always the case…

Illustrated Flashcards

“Excellent graphic flash cards. These flashcards has motivated both my kids immensely!”

11+ PARENT

“The flashcards 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.”

SUSIE

“Excellent Picture Flashcards. 

My both kids (10 and 8 years old) are making excellent use of the flashcards and the pictures are actually enhancing their understanding of the words. Really pleased with these flashcards.”

ARTI

“I’ve had these flashcards about a week and my daughter has already learnt well over half the words already. I’d been using some other flashcards without pictures for a while and she’d managed to learn only a handful of words. Also the book is great too!”

REJWANA

“Tutor Approved!!
A great way to memorise new vocabulary. Words are well pitched for 11+ preparation.”

LUCY

“My son found these more engaging than some of the more traditional cards. The pictures were great for recall!”

MSP

“Very very good communication. Words were sent out expeditiously. Son prefers these to the chunky CGP cards we had bought for him. A must buy if your son or daughter are doing their 11+.”

DEE

“My son learnt all the words (set A & B) in ten days and needs a simple prompt of the picture while revising, he learnt them in play, including the literal & figurative meanings and example sentences!

Ongoing work on understanding context/synonyms/antonyms for those words, but he’s picking them up while watching documentaries/reading which boosts engagement.

Review from my child is – ‘Are there more flashcards? Why did this lady stop with these & not make more ?’ Also him while working on other flashcards – ‘oh these don’t have pictures, very boring, why can’t we have more of those picture ones?’

My husband and I were in for a surprise, your cards are very engaging and I hope you take my child’s feedback seriously (i.e. publish more sets), thank you!!!”

VINEETA

“Perfect for 11 plus journey. The best word cards available on the market. 

They were done with a child in mind and not only focusing on showing the high knowledge of the author as the majority of other cards. 

It is very user friendly. Definitely worth buying.”

KATE

“I’ve been so impressed by the quality of these materials that I’ve recommended them to all my primary students’ parents.


The vocab cards have fantastic photos and great model sentences, and the FISH! games are turning into a favourite in my lessons already!”

JULIE, TOP TUTORS

“I bought Set A Flashcards for my elder daughter who sat for her 11 plus last September. Have tried many flashcards but she easily forgets the meanings.

At last I saw your flashcards and bought them. She easily remembered the meanings as it comes with the picture. She passed her 11 plus successfully.”

R

“Fantastic resource for the 11+ exam and students wishing to broaden their vocabulary. The online Quizlet it comes with is a lot of fun and is a big hit with my students.”

ANNA

“Highly recommend the Wordier flashcards.

My daughter found them much more engaging than other flashcards, loving the photos in particular.

A great discussion tool. She bounced out of her recent 11 plus exam, chuffed that words she had learnt using these cards had come up.“

PH

“I’m 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 C.

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.”

This has helped him to develop and consolidate his vocabulary. An invaluable resource for the 11+ preparation.”

“Brilliantly engaging course!

Our son absolutely loves the online vocabulary lessons!

It is a brilliantly organised course and I appreciate the amount of planning that goes into it to make it an engaging experience.

Our son enjoys the various formats/modalities that are used and the optional interactive homework.

Kamilah is a friendly and positive tutor who creates a productive online learning environment and encourages our child to challenge himself.

The learning is already evident in our son’s writing and comprehension of texts outside of the course.

This is the first module that we have signed up for and our ten-year-old is already asking if he can continue after!”

“Just recieved the fantastic news that my twin boy and girl have recieved places at St Olaves and Newstead Wood! They are both different characters and learn differently. They both utilised the Wordier online course, flash cards, Wordier workbooks and Go Fish card game.

Vocabulary is a huge and important part of 11 plus prep and it is one area that you can not cram. I would definitely start vocab prep early.”

Anna and Natalie's Story

Anna and Natalie have never met… not yet, anyway. 

Although they don’t know each other, they have a couple of things in common – they’re going to the same school in September and they both used Wordier as part of their 11+ journeys.

Anna and Natalie are both smart girls that started their 11+ preparation early, which definitely helped to set them up for success. Both girls had pretty good vocabularies, too, so their parents focused largely on other areas, like comprehension, maths and non-verbal reasoning. 


As the girls started to complete practice papers and to do mocks, their parents began to realise that, despite their strong vocabularies, there were still a few challenging words that were tripping them up in exams.

That’s when they turned to Wordier. 

Anna and Natalie’s mums were both confident in their own English skills, so they were happy to help their girls at home. Wisely, they were also very mindful of ensuring that their daughters maintained their love of learning and didn’t feel overloaded in the run-up to the exams. That’s why both parents opted to use the vocabulary flashcards and the illustrated workbook. For an extra top up, Anna also completed our summer vocabulary course (which she attended with enthusiasm). 

Both families became particularly fond of our illustrated flashcards. Anna started telling her mum that “vocabulary is fun!” which, of course, was music to her ears! 

Natalie’s mum was also pleased that the flashcards enabled her Year 3 son to learn alongside his older sister, giving him a little head start on his future 11+ preparation.

When the girls sat their 11+ exams last September, they both told their mums that several of the “Wordier words” had come up in the exam.

Natalie was so happy and confident after her exam that her mum tells us she “bounced” out afterwards. 

Thanks to all their hard work and a little help from Wordier, both girls absolutely sailed through their exams, gaining places at their first choice school – Newstead Wood. Incredibly, Natalie also placed in the Top 180 in one of her other exams (the Bexley 11+) – an incredible feat considering she was up against 6000 children!

We can’t wait to see what the girls achieve at their new secondary school. Maybe they’ll even become friends!

Dillon's Story

Back in 2021, I had a pupil called Dillon, who struggled with anything English related. 

When he came to me for 11+ tuition, his mum had told us that he had trouble with inferencing but it soon became apparent that his difficulties went beyond that – he had trouble with all types of comprehension questions and with cloze tests, too. 


For months, we practised comprehension and cloze tests religiously, breaking down the story and discussing key elements in the hopes that Dillon would start to use these skills independently. It wasn’t happening, though. Whilst his maths and reasoning skills had improved immensely during his time with us, we struggled to move the needle on his English skills.


At this point in time, I’d been running my vocabulary classes for several months but, as a child with a busy schedule and two working parents, Dillon had been too busy to join. 

For a long time, I avoided bringing up the vocab classes as I didn’t want to add any pressure to the family. The tipping point came, however, when Dillon had trouble with a cloze test in class. He selected the word “fur” rather than “feather” to go after “ostrich” in a passage. Why? Because he didn’t know what an ostrich was. 

That’s when I realised that Dillon’s comprehension would never improve unless we really focused on his vocabulary. 


After this lesson, I scheduled a call with Dillon’s mum and she promised to re-jig her schedule so that Dillon could attend my online vocabulary classes weekly. This was about 6 months before the exam.

Over the next few months, Dillon’s vocabulary came on in leaps and bounds. He competed in the weekly vocab contests, which gave him an incentive to revise each week. Although he wasn’t winning the contests, he was slowly but surely working his way up the leaderboard, which was an achievement in itself. 


By the time of his exam in September, we were finally confident that his English skills were good enough to pass the test –  and they were! Dillon passed the Bexley test with flying colours. This was particularly impressive given that 50% of Bexley marks were based on the “Verbal Reasoning” (a.k.a. English) portion of the exam.

Dillon is now at Bexley Grammar, where he’s thriving and building upon the solid foundation of knowledge that he built during the 11+.

Talia's Story

Talia loves books. She would read all the time and always turned up early to her 11+ classes (gold star!) with her head in a book. I could tell that she really enjoyed English, which isn’t always the case with students. 

As you might expect, a lot of her exams were heavily vocab-based, and even though she was an avid reader of long and challenging books, she was still having trouble with synonyms and antonyms. Despite these difficulties, she was very relaxed about her mocks, even when she only completed half of the paper!

When I spoke to her mum about this, she told me that Talia had been acting “too relaxed and cool” about her exams and her mum was worried that this would translate into a poor exam performance.

To keep Talia motivated, we decided to change strategies. Among other adjustments, Talia’s mum stopped working through word lists with her and used the Wordier Live vocabulary course to boost her vocabulary instead. Before long, Talia started to see her own improvement, excitedly telling me when she noticed ‘Wordier words’ in both her English and verbal reasoning papers. She was getting it! 

After learning so much in the classes, Talia became an enthusiastic user of our illustrated flashcards, too. Suddenly, she wasn’t trying to avoid work at home but was actually keen to learn more. 

We realised that this improvement wasn’t just because of what she was learning, but how she was learning it. With her vocab classes, Talia had become part of a fun community of kids where she could spot words, be motivated and actually see her hard work paying off. 

Eventually, she aced all three exams that she took and got into a great grammar school (the same grammar school that I attended, actually). 

Her mum says she’s still reading, still learning and still thriving. That’s a huge win for everyone. 

The moral of the story? Kids need tools outside of books that will harness their skills. A lot of the time, it’s just about uncovering the best way to get them to learn. That’s where we come in.
