Papers recycle the same error families: -tion/-sion, double letters (necessary, accommodate), silent letters, ie/ei. Drilling those families beats memorising random lists.
What 11+ spelling questions cover
At 11+ level, spelling means the high-frequency error families the 11+ actually tests. Our free worksheet library grades every topic across four tiers — Foundation, Developing, Secure and Greater Depth — so a child can enter at their level and climb.
How to use the worksheets
- Diagnose: one Secure-tier sheet, unaided. Score under 70%? Drop a tier. Over 90%? Climb one.
- Little and often: 15–20 minutes daily beats a weekend marathon — retention lives in the gaps between sessions.
- Review errors out loud: the child explains what went wrong; you resist explaining first. Self-diagnosis sticks.
- Fold into mocks: once a topic hits Greater Depth, let full timed mock papers keep it warm rather than more isolated drilling.
