Test Practice, Grade 4

I have used the Spectrum Test Practice for Grade 8 with great success. I, therefore, had no hesitation when it came to purchasing this one for grade 4. I teach English only, so I distribute the math, science, social studies, and reading practice tests portions of these books to my respective associates. All practice tests are reproducible and closely resemble the standardized Iowa Test of Basic Skills in both format and bubbling requirements: It's excellent practice for students. Reading, language arts, math, science, and social studies practice tests are all included in this book. Each section covers the various aspects of each of these subjects--and reminders (such as "remember to look for correct capitalization and punctuation") are given to reinforce teaching. I use these practice tests throughout the school year; therefore, when standardized test time rolls around, my students are relaxed, confident, and familiar with the format. They score very well--some of them even scoring off the charts. The Spectrum Test Practice books are unquestionably money well spent.

Wonderful way to prep for a standardized test.We homeschool and have used the Spectrum tests for the last 4 years and I feel that it has more than prepared my child for the test. Last year, her comment to me when she left the exam was that the Spectrum test was perfect because she felt so prepared and was not at all nervous.I would recommend this product to any moms out there that want to give their child a preview of what they will seeing on a standardized exam.If you are looking for a way to help your child prepare, this product is a wonderful way for them to preview potential questions or possible range of subject matter.

Good product -- bought to review for the Iowa Test of Basic Skills for my son. Gave him some experience with the format of standardized tests -- questions were challenging but not too difficult. Great resource.

I bough this Test Preparation book to help my kid with the New York State Exams for 4th grade. While it does repeat some of the questions of the other Spectrum Test Prep books, this one particularly is ORGANIZED a bit differently for my needs!!It starts with Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension, Language Mechanics, Expressions, then practice Test, all those a couple of pages each.. SO it is divided by sections and every time you use the book you have to jump to different pages and its a little confusing.It is OK if you know what area you are struggling, so you can concentrate right on that only for a couple of pages straight, but I think a little bit of everything every day is a better learning.

This book is an excellent resource for extra worksheets.There is also a wide variety of topics tested. Delivery was quick. product was packaged well.

i bought this for my son and although he doesn't "enjoy" it, it has provided him with the additional practice he needs. It has given me the opportunity to sit with him and work on test taking strategies (truly a life skill) as well as discuss some interesting topics via the stories they use. It arrived timely and packaged appropriately and as described.

I am home-schooling my grandson and I wanted some type of documentation to go in his records for proof that he has a standard course of study. I am pleased with what this book offers and it serves the purpose for which I intended. I have chosen to use subject workbooks as well.

THIS BOOK HAS BEEN GREAT FOR MY CHILD WHO HAS FINISHED 4TH GRADE. I GIVE MY CHILDREN WORKBOOKS TO DO EVERY SUMMER TO KEEP THEIR MIND FRESH WITH THE STUFF THAT THEY LEARN THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR. THIS BOOK HAD A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT HE LEARNED LAST YEAR. I WILL PROBABLY PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE NEXT YEAR.
