Thanks for attending our webinar! We hope you enjoyed it.

As promised here are your two free e-books!

• Kindergarten Readiness Survival Guide E-book (click here)
• If you have a preschooler who will be assessed in the future for gifted and talented or private school admissions, you’ll want to be sure that he has all the skills needed for kindergarten and testing readiness. Even if you plan to send your child to a local kindergarten that doesn’t require testing or if you plan to home school him, he will still need to master all of the skills covered in this guide to do well in school. For preschoolers, it is best to focus on skill building through play and everyday life interactions.The secret to helping your preschooler build the skills needed for testing and school is to keep your interactions fun and playful! We recommend that you devote a segment of time in each day to work on one particular skill that you read about in this guide. You can do practice questions together or you can try one of the games suggested as an “Everyday life” activity.

• Testing Survival Guide E-book (click here) – In this guide, we will explain the different types of tests children are given for school placement, show you samples of questions from various tests, tell you why it is important to prepare your child, and give you tips. The language you hear around testing sounds like a game of Scrabble –

• OLSAT® test,
• CogAT® test,
• BSRA™ test,
• GATE Testing,
• ERB, WPPSI®-III or IV,
