Strong Vocabulary Supports 11+ Success.

Vocabulary plays an important role across the 11+, including comprehension, verbal reasoning, cloze exercises and the language skills children need to understand questions.

That’s why Kalimo gives children a simple, structured way to build their vocabulary little by little, without adding hours of extra work.

THE KALIMO METHOD

A simple routine that builds vocabulary for the long term.

Children learn, practise, use and revisit their vocabulary throughout the week, without hours of extra work.

01 · Daily Practice

Build Vocabulary in Just 5 Minutes a Day

10 new words each week, introduced in manageable steps: 5 on Monday and 5 on Tuesday, with just 5 minutes of daily practice, and no long vocabulary lists or endless memorisation.

• Small steps. Big vocabulary.

02 · Weekly Journey

One Week. Six Steps.

Children move through a structured six-day vocabulary journey. Each day provides a different way to meet, practise and use their new words.

• Learn it. Practise it. Use it.

03 · Story worlds

Vocabulary in Context

Each week, children meet their new words inside a funny retelling of a classic story, followed by a short comprehension challenge.

• See words in context.

04 · live quiz

A Weekly Challenge They’ll Look Forward To

Put this week’s vocabulary to the test in a fast-paced live quiz. Children compete, climb the podium and celebrate their progress.

• Learn together. Compete. Celebrate.

05 · Word vault

What Parents Are Seeing

James, Year 5 parent
"Kalimo has taken so much of the stress out of 11+ preparation. The routine is simple, clear and easy to stick to."
Gul Nasreen, Year 9 parent
"My daughter is now in Year 9 and has really benefited from the platform. She loved competing for a spot on the leaderboard, which she secured most of the time! It's fun, motivating, and most importantly, it actually works."
Rhabia, Year 5 parent
"For the first time, my son actually looks forward to practising vocabulary. The live quizzes have been a game changer."
Jannah, Year 5 parent
“My 10-year-old daughter absolutely loves this platform! The games and live competitions make learning vocabulary fun rather than a chore, it is difficult as it is to get them to read let alone learn new words. I particularly love how the comprehension activities use the words children have learnt, helping them understand their meanings whilst improving their reading and inference skills. It’s a brilliant way to get children learning and reading in an innovative way without them even realising.”
