11 Plus Reading Comprehension

11+ Reading Comprehension practice & tutoring

Improve 11+ reading comprehension with adaptive passages, timed practice and an AI tutor that guides understanding step by step. Your child reads, infers and answers — then learns exactly why each answer is right.

Ages 7–11 · Adaptive difficulty

150 expertly written Reading Comprehension questions (a Premium feature), part of over 8k questions across the whole 11+ curriculum.

What your child will practise

  • Fiction & non-fiction passages
  • Retrieval & literal questions
  • Inference & deduction
  • Vocabulary in context
  • Author's purpose & viewpoint
  • Tone, mood & atmosphere
  • Summarising & main ideas
  • Comparing texts

Passages in a pop-up panel

Each comprehension passage opens alongside the questions, so your child can refer back to the text while they answer — exactly as they'll need to in the exam.

AI tutor for understanding

Comprehension is about reasoning, not recall. When an answer is wrong, the AI tutor guides your child back to the evidence in the text step by step.

Adaptive, timed practice

Build reading stamina with passages levelled to your child's ability and timed sets that mirror real exam pressure.

Why it matters for the 11+

Reading comprehension underpins the entire English paper and rewards close reading, inference and the ability to find evidence under time pressure — the hardest skills to build without good practice.

Comprehension is a Premium feature in 11+ Mastermind, with carefully chosen passages and an AI tutor that teaches your child how to read like an examiner expects.
