You have a lot of choices

There are various resources available to prepare for the 11-plus tests. Books, online worksheets, workbooks, websites…the list is endless. Online subscription sites are one of the many routes you can take to prepare your child for the tests. Even if your child is not taking competitive exams, these sites are a wonderful platform for learning and consolidating concepts taught at school. Moreover, for many homeschooling parents, these are convenient resources.

Suitable for remote learning, these online portals are perfect for the present condition and of course, for a post-COVID world, a new era in teaching and learning that has been thrust upon us. Different to the traditional way of learning, these websites offer an alternative option to tutors. Parents may use these sites to supplement their child’s schoolwork. For many parents, these websites are yet another resource in their kitbag. Many use them to give children a break from the monotony of doing workbooks.

The main attraction of these websites is the interactive nature of learning, where sound effects, graphics and reward points spur children to try just once more, and give it another go. Doesn’t that make a parent’s heart glad? Many kids prefer this to filling in boring workbooks. Although many would agree that there is no substitute for the boring work done in workbooks, online sites can be used to shake things up a little.

Most of these sites provide tutorials to explain topics and concepts and offer flexibility in terms of the length of subscription and payment terms. Read on to learn about a few websites, tried and tested by parents and tutors.

Please note: The sites above are not listed in any order, except for my own preference. Please carry out your due diligence and research before deciding to sign up for any platform. Not every platform suits every child, and it is important to understand that every child’s needs and approach to learning are unique.
