Download or read book The Alternative Parents Guide to 11 and Beyond written by Anne Montgomery and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-27 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The selection of students by grammar schools is a fiercely competitive business, and one that gives succour to the private tuition industry. From enrolling their children in tutoring schools to employing personal tutors, from purchasing study guides and workbooks to sitting mock exams, parents face a perplexing array of options when it comes to helping their youngsters gain advantage in this one-time-only 'race for a place'. This guide for parents of prospective 11 Plus candidates has been written as a source of information and advice by a personal tutor currently working in the industry. It lifts the lid on some of the realities of 11 Plus preparation and how the process can be managed successfully with or without the aid of tutors. The author, under a pseudonym, shares real-life experiences with 11 Plus candidates, as well as her own tried and tested teaching methods, suggested strategies and exam tips.No attempt is made to re-create the content of the many excellent 11 Plus study resources on the market which teach specifically to the exam. Rather, the author shares methodology drawn from her own educational background under an entirely different (and rather antiquated) system of learning. Beginning with general information about the application process, the guide offers some insight into real tutoring experiences and how various parenting styles may affect children's learning. The author seeks to encourage participation in the 11 Plus selection process by the families of any and all gifted children, without fear of becoming overburdened financially. With a bit of creativity and some guidance, the 11 Plus becomes 'do-able', and success in the 11 Plus selection process can be a realistic prospect.
