The PDF ends with a meaning check and answers. It is a cross-year starting route, not an official list of words guaranteed to appear in an exam. Some children need to build the language of a passage before they can tackle harder [11+ English comprehension papers](https://pip11plus.com/11-plus-english-papers). Others know the definition but have not yet learnt which word fits a sentence. This resource moves through both, then gives space to check understanding. 01 · Start here ### Find the meaning Build a confident base for understanding passages and instructions. peculiar strange or unusual. 02 · Build confidence ### Choose precisely Move from knowing a word to choosing the right one for a sentence. Our [homophones list](https://pip11plus.com/homophones) helps with the pairs that sound the same but are spelt differently. persuade to make someone agree by giving good reasons. 03 · Stretch ### Read between the lines Practise the richer words that change how a passage feels. meticulous very careful and exact about small details. ### Keep the whole path together.

In the PDF, they can go further by writing a new sentence, then check eight clues at the back. ### Read it. Think it. Reveal it. These examples come from the curated word list. **reluctant · “She was reluctant to leave her warm bed.”** Unwilling; not wanting to do something. The sentence hints that leaving the bed was hard to choose. **conspicuous · “Her bright red coat made her conspicuous in the crowd.”** Very easy to notice; standing out. The red coat gives you a clue. **peculiar · “The milk had a peculiar smell.”** Strange or unusual. The smell was not what the person expected. Go beyond this selection ## When should we use the year-specific vocabulary lists? The Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 pages are fuller references. They include more words, meanings and example sentences, plus free flashcards and spelling games. Year 6 also distinguishes extra stretch words from its statutory-word section. Use those pages if your child wants more at a familiar level, and use this PDF when you want a short route across levels.

This resource is a curated starting path drawn from Pip’s Year 4, 5 and 6 word collections, not a prediction of exam words. **What is included in the free 11+ vocabulary list with meanings PDF?** It contains 48 words with child-friendly meanings and example sentences, arranged in three stages, plus an eight-question meaning check and answers. **Is this the same as the Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 lists?** No. This PDF selects a smaller cross-year route so a child can start and progress. The fuller year-specific word lists and interactive tools remain available separately. **How should my child use a vocabulary list for 11+ preparation?** Read a short group of words, explain each one in their own words, and write or say a new sentence. Revisit words they miss and practise English questions in Pip for context. **Do I need to give an email address to download the vocabulary PDF?** Yes.
