Review: OLSAT Test Prep Level A

 When we finished out our kindergarten year I was trying to find a test prep for our daughter to take to that I knew she had retained the information given for the year. I could not find a single booklet to test for the end of the kindergarten year. This test prep book doesn’t focus on any specific subject but rather it assess cognitive abilities. Now if you are like me you have no idea what OLSAT (Otis-Lennon School Ability Test) means. We’ll have no fear the book gives great instructions on what and how to administer these test. You can use this workbook to help your student ages 3-6 years. The OLSAT is often times used to see if a child is gifted and talented. 

Before you start with the test prep the book gives you very detailed instructions on what to do for your child’s age and how to get them ready for this large test. Since our daughter is 5 I am supposed to only read the question one time aloud and the rest is up to her to figure out. I always suspected our daughter was very bright. This test prep booklet pretty much confirmed my finding as she was able to do a whole test no problem. 

A huge plus to this test prep is that there is more than one test. There are 4 practice tests in all and they get progressively more advanced as you go through the workbook. I do like that the pages are in color. Doing 60 questions in all black and white would get pretty boring for a 3 to 6 year old. 



In case you are wondering the last page in the booklet are the answers to all the questions given even the sample questions at the beginning. If you are having your hold take the OLSAT then this would be a great way to prep. Or if you just want to see how your little one does or an extra activity for them to do then this book would benefit you, too. If you are looking for other great kindergarten items check out the amazing kit Timberdoodle has to offer.

Review: Sensory Tissue Box

We have been trying out a lot of new baby items this year and here is another one we did not have for our first daughter. It is called  Sensory Tissue Box . What makes this toy so much fun? Let's be honest babies love to get into things. We have tried before to let her play with a regular box of tissues. Big mess. The tissues were everywhere and they have like 250 tissues in a box, she torn them up to so an even bigger mess. Our daughter even went as far as to rip the box itself up. This sensory tissue box though is made of very soft fabric so she can not tear it up, it has 15 tissues so less to keep track of and the tissue can not be easily torn up either. This is the biggest positive of this sensory box in my opinion. Another positive to having this sensory tissue box instead of a regular one is that the tissues are different colors and sizes as well as having different textures to them. There are 6 see-through ones, 6 see-through ones that have dots on them and 3 crinkly ones. T

Review: 180 Days of Social Studies 1st

When I noticed that our history class did not have a lot for social studies I decided to look for something to add into our homeschool. I came across 180 Days of Social Studies  and decided to try it. So, we started with the kindergarten version and I thought it was quite well done so we have kept it for 1st grade as well. Just like with the kinder one the booklet is done in black and white and I wish it was done in color. It goes over so much but in an easy to understand way for the age group that would be using it. 180 Days goes over American things so if you are homeschooling in another country and not learning about American history then I would look for another curriculum to use. The 1st grade version goes over the systems of government, civics, economics, geography and history. The thing I like best about 180 Days is that you only do a page a day. If your school year is a 36 weeks then you are perfectly set up to do 1 page a day. Since we do a 47 week school year we only do a few

Review: All About Reading Level 4

 We have finished All About Reading Level 4 ! I am so glad that we started using this program from All About Learning Press. It is hands-down the best if you want to teach anyone to read. This last level goes over the rare teams, unexpected phonic sounds, and words that are borrowed from other languages. The break down of each lesson is amazing not only for the teacher but the student as well. The games incorporated make it really intriguing for the student. I absolutely love the little readers that come with each level. The lessons are perfectly spaced out so that it isn't too much at one time. I love the way the teacher's manual is done. As a dyslexic teaching another dyslexic I couldn't be happier with the teaching method. A lot of the things taught in all 4 levels of All About Reading I learned for the first time. I had never learned them in public school but am so glad I am able to teach them to my own kids. While most American adults read at a 7-8 grade level my seven
