Summer revision is essential. Your child has been working hard and it is important not to lose the vital skills or the ability to work within a set time learned over the past academic year. This is why summer revision is vital to prevent summer learning loss.  \nSummer Learning Loss  \nWhat exactly is summer learning loss? Summer learning loss is when children return to school after their summer holidays at a lower academic level than the end of the last academic school year. During the summer holidays of your child’s Year 5, we still need their learning to accelerate and develop. Studies show that summer learning loss can be anywhere between one to three months of study. It is more pronounced in reading and maths and anywhere from 20 – 50% of skills can be lost over the summer months. It is, therefore, essential to embark upon an 11+ summer revision programme to enable your child to be competitive in the 11+ test.  \nYou child will get the most out of a summer revision programme if you:  \n1. Plan the topics  \na. Work on accuracy  \nb. Work on timing  \nc. Encourage effective learning  \n2. Organise your child’s learning  \na. Create a timetable  \n3. Make sure they are involved in a range of activities.  \na. Schedule other activities  \nb. Keep motivation high  \n4. Revise English and Verbal Reasoning  \n5. Revise Maths  \n6. Revise Non-Verbal Reasoning  \n1. PLAN THE TOPICS  \na. Work on Accuracy  \nHow well does your child know the topics of the 11+ programme? It may be useful to look at their results from their assessment tests and homework to think about strengths and target areas. Your child’s teacher will have also talked to you about these in your feedback calls over the past academic year. Over the summer holidays, it is important to work on all aspects of a subject and not just the target areas. Strengths need to remain as strengths.  \nEncourage your child to think about their strengths and target areas as outlined below. A child’s own self-assessment can help them to take responsibility for their learning. To help with this process, they can think about whether they would award themselves a gold (they can do most of the questions, a silver (they need a bit more help) or bronze medal (they still need to do more work in this area to increase accuracy) . Target areas can change as revision progresses.  \nb. Work on Timing  \nIt is important to not only work on developing accuracy but also timing. Not all work needs to be timed. It may be that a 50/50 split (or other) will help to improve both accuracy and timing when your child is working on 11+ revision. Your child needs to be able to get as many questions right as possible but also complete the questions in the allocated time. Revising in short bursts can be very productive but longer periods of study will also be required as your child will be sitting an 11+ test which is administered in two 60 minute sessions. Using more formal papers will help with this part of 11+ revision. It is important to use the GL papers as they are the examination board. The use of longer papers is important not only for working for longer periods of study but also to use both questions papers and answer booklets as this is what your child will do in the real 11+ test. It is important to reinforce that working out is completed in the question papers but only answers can be shaded in the answer booklet. No annotations or working out are allowed in the answer booklet.  \nIf your child finds it difficult to complete all the questions in time or races through with a lot of time to spare, then they need help with timings. Look at the questions they find difficult and prohibit them from completing the test. Initially, encourage them to skip the questions which are slowing them down. They can always return to complete them when they have  \ntime at the end of the section","cbCaih6gJi6VI0ri","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih6gJi6VI0ri","pdf",567066,18,"English","# Summer Revision Guidelines\n## Summer learning loss\n## Plan the topics\n## Organise your child’s learning\n## Revise English and Verbal Reasoning\n## Revise Maths\n## Revise Non-Verbal Reasoning","[{\"question\":\"What is summer learning loss and why is revision essential?\",\"answer\":\"Summer learning loss is when children return after the holidays at a lower academic level than the end of the previous school year.
