Reading comprehension is a vital skill for success in the 11+ exam. That's why we've created a library of engaging, age-appropriate texts that encourage children to develop a love of reading while building the skills they need to excel. Each story is followed by carefully designed comprehension questions in the style of the 11+, helping your child strengthen their understanding, inference, vocabulary, and analytical skills with every read.
Dance! Dance!
Dance! Dance! takes young readers on an energetic journey through the fascinating world of dance. From the precision and grace of ballet to the partnership of ballroom, the rhythm of tap, the creativity of contemporary dance and the expressive world of street dance, readers discover how different styles have developed and what makes each one unique.
Written especially with 11+ preparation in mind, this engaging non-fiction text helps pupils practise essential comprehension skills, including retrieval, inference, vocabulary in context, comparison, identifying evidence and understanding a writer’s purpose. The accompanying questions encourage children to look beyond the obvious, think carefully about language and justify conclusions using clues from the text.
