11+ Poetry Comprehension

This book has been written and designed principally with 11+ students in mind, as poetry is increasingly becoming a key component of many selective entry exams. But the book is by no means limited to this cohort and will be beneficial to all children in the 9 – 14 age bracket. There are 30 classic poems covering a range of topics, themes and styles, and ordered by level of difficulty. Each poem is preceded by an introduction to the poet and followed by a mix of multiple choice and written response-style questions. There are also a number of more challenging extended-answer questions for the more advanced or ambitious students. The questions have been designed to reflect the whole range of ways in which poetry can be analysed, including rhyme schemes, rhythm, poetic devices, language use and meaning. Whether you are a student preparing for the 11+ exam or a teacher or parent looking for a valuable resource to support your child’s learning, this book will be an essential tool in the journey towards success in the world of poetry and beyond. – ASIN: 1739481429 | ISBN13: 9781739481421 | ISBN-13: 978-1739481421
