Words that stick for the 11+

NaVi Vocab teaches your child the words they need for the 11+, ten minutes a day, and checks they still know them a month later. You see which words stuck.

Get started

For parents and tutors. Your child signs in with a username you set.

For 11+ preparation

For children preparing for the 11+, usually aged 8 to 11. Every child learns the same 11+-standard words, in three levels:

  • Foundation

    the words to start with

  • Grammar School Ready

    the wider words of Years 5 and 6

  • Advanced

    harder words for extra stretch

Younger children can start with the Foundation words. You can add words from school too.

How it works

  1. Learn

    Your child meets a few new words a day: what each one means, an example, and how it's used.

  2. Practise

    Ten minutes a day. NaVi Vocab chooses the questions and brings each word back when it's due.

  3. Remember

    A word counts as mastered only when your child gets it right on a question they haven't seen, a week after learning it. You can see why each word is marked.

Safe by design

What we promise every family:

  • No adverts

    Your child never sees an advert, and there's nothing to buy with real money.

  • No social features

    No friends, no messages, no leaderboards and no sharing. Your child never meets other users.

  • No open-ended chat

    There's no chatbot. Your child answers questions about words, and Dot, our mascot, gives feedback on their answers.

  • AI that stays on vocabulary

    AI is used only for words: preparing the questions and checking the sentences your child writes. We never send it your child's name.

  • A profile you own

    Only a grown-up can create a child's profile. You choose the username and password, no email address is needed, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

  • Minimal data

    We ask for your child's first name (or a nickname), school year, a username and, if you like, a goal. No surname, birthday, photo or email.

  • Five-minute setup

    Sign in, add your child, choose the Foundation words. It takes about five minutes.

Questions parents ask

Who is NaVi Vocab for?

Children preparing for the 11+, usually aged 8 to 11, and the parents and tutors who help them.

My child is younger. Can they use it?

Yes. Every child gets the same 11+-standard words, and younger children can start with the Foundation words. A younger child may need you beside them to read some of the questions.

How long does it take each day?

About ten minutes. NaVi Vocab chooses what to practise, so you don't have to.

Will this get my child through the 11+?

No word list can promise that, and there is no official 11+ word list. NaVi Vocab helps your child learn words well enough to remember them, and shows you which ones have stuck.

Who checks the words and questions?

Every question is checked by AI before a child sees it, and a teacher reviews alongside when one is available. If something looks wrong, email us at support@navivocab.com.

Does my child need an email address?

No. You create their profile and choose a username and password for them.

What do we need?

NaVi Vocab works in the web browser on phones, tablets and computers: use the latest Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox. You can add it to your home screen to open it like an app. iPhone and Android apps will come later.

How do I delete our data?

Email support@navivocab.com and we'll delete it. Your account and data explains how, and our privacy notice explains what we keep and why.
