Eleven Plus Reading Errors

If your child happens to misread a question it could be more than carelessness. Ask your child to read the question aloud. Record any mistakes:

Omissions
Substitutions
Additions
Refusals
Repetitions
Reversals
Gross mispronunciations.

Add to the equation a lack of understanding of the word - as well as poor comprehension of the question.

You will need to keep everything in perspective. It can be argued that errors in reading can be ignored provided your child grasps the meaning of what is being read.
