11+ Guide To Figurative Language (Revised) (11+ Support)

Aimed particularly at parents in the CSSE region who want to help their child to achieve the 'magic score' which will result in them being allocated a place at their chosen selective school! In today's increasingly competitive society, preparation for the 11+ has become incredibly tough, whichever education authority area you live in. For these children, it involves studying many concepts that they will not have faced before. Many of the questions are extremely hard, and not all the elements of the exam can be fully prepared for; however, even in the areas of the country where they now claim the exams cannot be 'tutored', there are still many tools that you can give your children to help their preparation - and one of of those tools is a knowledge of the different aspects of Figurative Language. Introducing metaphors and similes, personification and pathetic fallacy, alliteration, idioms, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, irony and oxymoron in a way that they will be easily remembered, this book is a great introduction to Figurative Language for children from Upper Key Stage 2 to the end of Key Stage 3 (9 to 14 year olds)
