Creative Comprehension

Creative comprehension questions are designed to test your child’s ability to infer information from a range of sources. They are similar to reading comprehension questions in that they require the student to answer questions and draw conclusions from material supplied during the exam.

Similarly to reading comprehension, text will often be included in the question. On top of the text, however, there will be additional sources such as images, graphs and statistics. Students will need to retrieve information from across all of the sources in order to answer the questions successfully.

Children will work on their deduction, evaluation, and comparison skills as they are asked to analyse various sources and draw logical conclusions. Students will be taught how to respond to a range of materials, including different sources such as pictures, statistics, and various texts, and draw pertinent conclusions about them.

Many schools such as City of London Boys, Dulwich College, Forest, Trinity, Belmont and all 14 schools in the 11+ London Consortium now use Atom Learning’s online tests, which include creative comprehension .
