Praise for Mission: Comprehension
"5 out of 5 stars - An outstanding tool for building young minds! This book has far exceeded my expectations. If you're a parent, teacher or home schooler, I can’t recommend this book enough to boost your child’s reading skills and confidence. It’s a small investment that delivers huge educational value. A must-have for every parent."
Toni, Amazon reviews, June 25
"This book is brilliant for young minds who love puzzles and problem solving - it helps build comprehension skills as they have fun! It is written in such an engaging and fun way that it's something kids want to pick up, rather than feel they have to. The activities are varied, age-appropriate and enjoyable whilst also building confidence - one of the most engaging (and educational) puzzle books we've found. It's great to take out and about with you to keep busy minds active and is also photocopiable so you really do get your value out of this book."

"As a Year 6 teacher, I am always on the lookout for engaging, varied activities that help children practise all the skills they need in preparation for SATs and 11+ exams. My Year 6 class loved the varied, unique activities in this book. Children sometimes find reading comprehension daunting but here the texts were engaging and just the right length. My pupils loved adding their answers to a crossword puzzle and 'guessing the question' (such a creative idea). All in all, an excellent resource that challenges children in a fun way, helping them improve their retrieval, explanation and inference skills so they can tackle any text with more confidence."

Praise for Mission: Vocabulary
"What a fabulous resource! Finally someone has found a fun way to practise vocabulary for the 11+ and Y6 SATs! The challenges are engaging and and varied. The language is interesting and the etymology is educational. Lots of opportunities to have discussions with your child whilst learning. A winner Mrs Osh!"

"This book is perfect for me! It helps me study and opens up my brain to a new range of vocabulary. I love how it’s not only writing; it has crosswords to really push your brain to the limit. This book is perfect for kids revising SATs and 11+ just like me."
Wendorth Best, Amazon reviews, February 26
"Excellent workbook to help with vocabulary. My child loves tackling the puzzles whilst picking up new vocabulary on the way. It’s the second book I’ve bought from Mrs Osh."
Sarah, Amazon reviews, January 26
“I’ve been tutoring for 26 years and the Mission books are the most engaging resources I’ve used. They build vocabulary and comprehension in a fun way, especially for KS2 and KS3 students, including those with English as an additional language, helping move them beyond gaming language and playground slang.” Jean Clayton, via email

"It’s so carefully crafted that the children don’t even realise they are learning. There’s maths and English, with loads of ‘just for fun’ sections. It’s really challenging and will make a great revision aid ready for SATs. I tested out a few of the pages with some of our Y6 and they all enjoyed it. I will be sharing this book with parents, so they can get them ready for SATs and beyond." A Moore, Amazon reviews, March 26
