Today nearly all American children at the age of 4, 5 or 6 must take an intelligence test of some sort. The results of this test can have a profound impact on their future education for years to come. The good news is that learning the art of intelligence tests can be a joyous, playful process that builds on the natural curiosity and brilliance of all children.
As leading experts in test preparation, Central Park Tutors has put together a groundbreaking book of puzzles to prepare your little ones for testing, with an in depth introduction that gives parents and teachers the guidance they need to understand both admissions tests and how to work with their children best to use the ingenious ways children naturally learn.
Each puzzle covers a key form of reasoning on kindergarten and first grade admissions tests- designed in large format, in rich color, and on a single page to allow your child to observe and consider the puzzle at length. The puzzles are ordered by skill level and reasoning type, and directly across from each puzzle are hints so that you have immediate access to guidance that can help your child learn the techniques that will make them independent puzzle-solvers.
“Puzzles For Young Children” helps parents and teachers bring out the joy in children while they learn, draw out their inner genius and apply their innate brilliance to intelligence testing.
