Verbal Reasoning

More than 1 year experience

Verbal reasoning simply put means thinking with words. Verbal reasoning is used to measure your ability to understand and reason using words, for example finding a letter that will complete two words or finding words that mean the same, or find the odd word out of a group of words. I have taught several verbal reasoning classes from nursery to primary school and I have come to realize that children perform best in verbal reasoning tests if they are widely read.

I have taught several children both in nursery and primary classes, and I was able to successfully improve on their verbal reasoning skills, seen them through their tests and exams, and also improve on their word spelling and sentence construction.

Most of the pupils I have thought made me realize that children are different, while some have a knack for verbal reasoning others even though they can read and spell very well still struggle with verbal reasoning. Most children that struggle with verbal reasoning are usually those that skim read and have difficulty paying attention. I usually give my pupils tasks after lessons like playing word games because they help them focus and build a great level of patience and attention in them.

During lessons, I set spelling challenges focusing mainly on commonly misspelled words and help them get a good grasp of the difference between antonyms and synonyms.
