Free Homonym Handbook

Help your child master one of the trickiest parts of the 11 Plus verbal reasoning test - spotting words that have more than one meaning.

Many 11 Plus verbal reasoning questions hinge on whether a child can spot that a word has more than one meaning. For example, a question might ask for a word that means the same as another, but the trick lies in knowing which meaning of that word is being tested. A child who only knows one sense of a word can easily be misled. That’s why being able to spot homonyms - words that share the same spelling but have different meanings - is such a vital skill.

The Club 11 Plus Homonym Handbook includes clear definitions and examples of more than 70 of the most commonly used homonyms and homographs (words that are spelt the same but pronounced differently), and is a fantastically useful resource for any child preparing for an 11 Plus verbal reasoning or English test.
