“As an experienced Headteacher and Senior Leader across some of Dubai’s leading and highly selective schools, I created Read Reason Ready to give families a trusted, high-quality way to prepare at home.
Drawing on 15 years of expertise helping children succeed in competitive educational environments, these 100 challenges are carefully designed to support confidence in selective school admissions, 11+ exams and CAT4-style assessments.
Rather than teaching to a test, the activities build confidence, independence and transferrable skills so children feel calm, capable and ready to perform at their best.”

CAT4 (Cognitive Abilities Test) measures how children think and learn, rather than testing curriculum knowledge or what has been taught in class.
It explores four thinking areas:
1) Verbal (words)2) Quantitative (numbers)
3) Non-Verbal (patterns)
4) Spatial (visual thinking)
Many schools use CAT4 to support admissions, identify strengths and potential, personalise learning and predict future attainment.
Preparation should focus on building confidence, understanding question styles and developing reasoning skills, not memorising content.
