Printable 11+ Weekly Plan (and how to use it)

A plan only works if it’s easy to follow. If it’s too complicated, it won’t survive busy weeks — and consistency is what drives progress.

This template keeps practice short, structured, and repeatable. Print it, stick it on the fridge, and keep moving.

Why this template works

• It’s predictable. Same rhythm every week = fewer arguments.
• It’s short. Short sessions are easier to start (and easier to repeat).
• It includes review. Review is where marks improve.
• It adapts automatically. “Weak area” changes week to week as your child improves.

The template (4 sessions per week)

Each session is short. The goal is steady momentum.

• Session 1 — Skills (20 minutes)

  20 minutes on one core skill (maths/English/VR).

  Examples: fractions, inference, synonyms, word problems, vocabulary.

• Session 2 — Timed mini set (10–15 minutes) + review (10 minutes)

  Short timed practice, then immediate review.

  Rule: one timed set only. Keep it calm.

• Session 3 — Weak area (20 minutes)

  20 minutes on the skill causing most mistakes.

  Pick one. Not everything.

• Session 4 — Mixed review (20–25 minutes) + one clear takeaway

  Mixed questions to check progress. End with one takeaway for next week.

  Example takeaway: “Underline the question before calculating.”

The rule (that makes this work)

Small timed sets + fast review beat long sessions.

Long sessions create fatigue and resistance. Short sessions create consistency — and consistency creates results.

If timed work causes stress, use: Timed Practice Without Stress.

How to track progress (without overthinking)

Don’t track total hours. Track what actually drives improvement:

• Streaks: how many sessions you completed this week.
• Weak skills: what came up repeatedly in mistakes.

The easiest tracking method (30 seconds)

• Put four boxes on a fridge sheet: S1 / S2 / S3 / S4
• Tick them as you complete them
• Write one note at the bottom: “This week’s weak skill: ____”

Coach tip: A child who does 4 short sessions every week will outperform a child who does one long session “when we get time”.

Try this next

Run this plan for 2 weeks before changing anything.

Two weeks gives you enough data to spot patterns — and it builds the habit that makes every future plan easier.

After 2 weeks, only change one thing

• Change the weak skill focus, or
• Change the timed set length (up/down), or
• Change the review rule (one new “next time I will…” sentence)

Small adjustments + steady reps is how scores move.
