The comprehension course will be run by Magnus and will cover the following main topics:

The different kinds of comprehension questions - what they are and how to answer each of them.

Implication, Inference & Context - thinking like a detective to see what’s happening behind the words on the page.

Tone & Connotation - how to gauge tone and interpret emotions.

Literary Devices - an examination of some of the different techniques used by authors, their effects and how to discuss them.

Exam technique - how to read mark schemes and optimise your answers.

Each week we will use a different 11+ extract to show how we can observe each of these topic areas in context. At the end of the course, students will take and submit an 11+ comprehension which will be marked to 11+ standards, with detailed feedback provided by Magnus.
