Practice that starts with the mistakes

Most practice throws more questions at a child. Jarami Learn starts somewhere else — with the ones they already got wrong.

Five ideas, not forty questions

When a child misses seventeen questions on a paper, it looks like seventeen problems. It almost never is. Mark them up and the same few habits come back again and again: reading a scale without working out what one space is worth, stopping a word problem one step early, guessing at a shape instead of counting its sides.

Fix the idea and the questions fix themselves. That is the whole method.

1

Start from a real paper

Take the questions your child actually got wrong — a school test, a past paper, homework.

2

Find the ideas underneath

Group them. Seventeen mistakes usually turn into four or five ideas worth learning properly.

3

Practise those, mixed up

Each idea comes back twice, in a shuffled order — so the child has to work out which idea it is.

Year 2 — the younger track

Free, no sign-up, works on a phone. Progress is kept on the device, so a child can stop halfway and come back. Everything here is read aloud in a slower, friendlier voice.

Puzzle patch

Sixteen puzzles about shells and socks and pizza — number stories, counting in jumps, fair shares and clocks. Three gentle hints each, every hint read aloud, and a maths helper you can actually talk to when you are stuck.

Word Lab · Year 2

Thirty words, read out loud.

Made for younger readers: every word and sentence can be heard in a slower, friendlier voice. Six word families — moving, sounds, feelings, sizes, weather and busy hands — each with a picture and a way to remember it, then three games and twenty-four gentle questions.

30 words read aloud slower voice 3 games 24 questions

Story time

Three little texts — a lost gumboot, how to grow a sunflower, and the kiwi bird — each with a painting and a button that reads the story aloud. Twelve gentle questions, hints when you want them, no clock, and a reading helper you can talk to.

Year 4 — the older track

Bigger questions, a stopwatch that trains real-paper pace, and helpers who hint before they ever tell.

Maths · Year 4

Set A — the five ideas

Scales and number lines, measuring words, multi-step word problems, clever arithmetic, and shapes. Every question is answered on the spot, with the trap explained.

Set B — Mistake hunters

Twenty questions, five traps — the wrong operation, mixed-up perimeter and area, units left unmatched, fiddly dates, and pointers nobody reads closely enough. Three hints per question, a stopwatch on your side, and a maths helper you can talk to.

Word Lab · Year 4

Hear it. Poke it. Then keep it.

Sixty-two words you can listen to, with a picture and a way to remember each one. Nine of them you can pull about until the meaning is obvious — fold a butterfly to find its symmetry, fire a rocket to feel what propel means, slide a lizard into its bark. Then three games and forty-eight questions.

Word Lab · Year 4 · Set B

Thirty-six words that move, feel and warn.

Six families — moving and sounding, feelings that show, size and degree, watching closely, ways people act, and serious matters. Every word has a picture and a voice, then twenty-four questions, a spelling trainer and a word helper you can talk to.

Word Lab · Year 4 · Set C

The words that cost us marks.

Eighteen words in three families — how you see yourself, words for special food, and words for size and space. Each one earned its place by tricking us on a real practice paper, and each comes with the trap that caught us, spelled out.

Reading · Year 4

Why did the writer do that?

The hardest questions in a reading paper are not about what happened — they ask why the writer wrote it that way, and the answer is never in the text. Six short texts, thirty-two questions, and the seven moves that answer all of them.

6 texts 32 questions 7 moves ages 9–11

Reading · Year 4 · Set B

Which line proves it?

Six new texts, and thirty-six questions weighted hard towards the two that cannot be guessed: which quotation actually proves a claim, and what exactly is being compared. Fifteen of the thirty-six are one of those two.

Reading · Year 4 · Sprint

Finish strong

Most reading papers are not lost at the start — they are lost in the second half, when tired guesses replace going back to the text. Four short texts, twenty-four questions and a quiet stopwatch. At the end you see your first half and your second half side by side, and which of the five habits slipped.

Reading · Year 4 · Set B

Whose words are these?

A joke advertisement, a diary where two people remember the same day completely differently, and a letter defending broccoli. Sixteen questions, and most ask the thing readers forget to check: why did the writer write it this way — and whose words am I being asked about?

Play with it

Five of the ideas turned into things you can pull about. Spin a spinner fifty times and watch the tally settle. Bend a garden and watch the fence refuse to change length.

Coming next. Set B for the same five ideas, a Year 5 set, and a full reading set. Want one for a paper your own child sat? Write to hello@jarami.app — we build these from real marked papers.

Why the questions are shuffled

A worksheet full of area questions teaches a child to multiply without thinking, because every question on the page needs the same move. Real tests do not arrive sorted.

For the grown-up

This works best with you nearby and quiet.

These are original practice questions written by Jarami. They are not copies of any exam board's paper, and Jarami is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any examination body.

Growth counts when someone notices

Add the practice to your child's routines in Jarami, and finishing a set becomes part of the week — seen, credited, and worth something.
