Karen Quinn has successfully taught hundreds of parents how to
prepare their children for testing, and "Testing For Kindergarten"
is her ultimate, comprehensive guide to having fun while teaching
to the underlying abilities every test assesses.
Whether your child is going to a private kindergarten or a public
school, he or she will most likely be tested--and placed in
classrooms according to those results. But information about
intelligence tests is closely guarded, and it can be difficult to
understand what your kids need to know.
As an expert who has successfully taught hundreds of parents how to
work with their own children, Karen Quinn has written the ultimate
guide to preparing your child for kindergarten testing. The
activities she suggests are "not "about "teaching to the test."
They are about having fun while teaching to the underlying
abilities every test assesses.
From the "right" way to have a conversation to natural ways to
bring out your child's inner math geek, Quinn shares the techniques
that every parent can do with their kids to give them the best
chance to succeed in school and beyond. It's just good
parenting--and better test scores are icing on the cake.
