🧩 Why VR matters
Verbal reasoning appears on almost every grammar and independent school paper — and it isn't taught at school, so prepared children have a real edge. The good news: every question type has a learnable method.
🏫 What these lessons cover
The core GL/CEM-style families: alphabet arithmetic (sequences, codes, mirror pairs), word puzzles (hidden, compound, missing letters, anagrams), meaning questions (analogies, synonym/antonym pairs, odd one out), plus number patterns and exam craft.
🎯 Method over talent
Every lesson turns a puzzle type into a routine — write the alphabet out, bridge sentences, both-ways tests — so speed comes from method, not inspiration.

Frequently asked questions
What order should my child learn VR in?
Alphabet skills first (V1) — everything letter-based builds on it. Then sequences and codes, the word puzzles, the meaning questions, and finally exam technique to bind it together.
Is verbal reasoning taught at school?
Rarely — VR is an exam-specific skill set, which is why practice matters so much and why methodical preparation gives such an advantage.

Yes — all 14 lessons and printable cheat sheets are completely free. The MindBlaze app adds daily practice and rewards.
