From subjects to skills

Turn the assessment subjects into a practice plan.

Start with these core skills from the published subject list. Pair the official assessment material with regular Plusling practice.

English

A useful place to start

Read a short passage together. Ask your child to find evidence for an answer and explain unfamiliar words in context.

Build on it with Plusling

Build on that reading with Plusling’s English questions and explanations, then choose a topic to practise again.
