It’s very hard to redo the problems with other regular books on the market but this wipe clean book is fantastic, we already did some problems multiple times
This Book is exactly what we were looking for! As we are preparing our daughter for the g&t exam we ended up buying multiple books and in many cases two of them. It’s very hard to redo the problems with other regular books on the market but this wipe clean book is fantastic, we already did some problems multiple times. The dry erase pen is great and it wipes off so easy. It’s already hard enough for kids to focus but book does a great job in spreading the material out. After only a few minutes my kids get tired but this book kept our daughter engaged and she could not wait to finish the section to do the fun activity. This book does have a great mix of problems from easy to difficult and was even useful for our 3 year old, she loved the dinosaur problems and stickers :) The book is sturdy and comes with flashcards too. We are looking forward for Smartie Books to release more books hopefully soon!
The BEST gifted and talented prep books EVER!
We are prepping for the NYC Gifted and Talented and these books are the BEST of all the books we have purchased. We got both the NNAT and OLSAT books. The OLSAT book has a total of 7 chapters: shape creation, analogies, directions & aural reasoning, classification, series completion, arithmetic reasoning and pattern matrices. First off, they have the dry-erase feature so the books are easy to reuse and you can wipe a wrong answer off in a second. The content of the book is fun and colorful with easy to understand instructions. More importantly, the questions are tough enough that I know my child is being challenged but he’s having fun at the same time. It doesn’t “feel” like test prep. The answer key is clear and easy to use by parents that don’t know the answers. It also has a set of flash cards for on-the-go learning. Wish they made different books for all subjects from PK-6! Don’t think twice. Get this book immediately!!!
Great workbook; easy to wipe clean and reuse
Great material. Engaging for my 4 year old and easy for him to use and wipe clean. Love the added “fun” sections. I wish the flash cards in the back where a little easier to be used independently (having the answers on a separate card) but overall a great product.
Good quality book
This workbook is a really high quality product. When I opened the package I was pleasantly surprised because the online pictures don't convey how well made this book is. It's a nice large format, the pages are thick and glossy so that they can be wiped clean and used again. This is very convenient because in my experience young children need that repetition to trully master the skill. I loved the fact that the book already comes with a dry erase marker attached to the book so you don't need to go looking for one and once you're done working, you just slide it back in and it's there for the next session. What I also liked is that the illustrations are very attractive, age appropriate, and full of vibrant colors so that a young child will associate the book with fun activity vs just boring pencil and paper work. Each section of the book begins with a very clear and to the point explanation about what skill is being mastered. Common Core standards caused a lot of confusion for parents and students because often times instructions are not parent friendly, so it was refreshing to find these quick and clear introductions at the beginning of each chapter. The best part was finding the fun activity pages at the end of a section. That's a great bonus! There is one with a world map and a sheet of stickers that will teach my kid geography while he's having fun. Also, another nice bonus is a little pocket at the end of the book with flash cards. Flash cards have answers on the other side. Once again, this is great because young kids get good at something by practicing it again and again. I am really impressed by this work book. It is designed to teach important and challenging concepts in appealing and kid friendly way. Whoever created this clearly put a lot of thought into it. I hope they have something for higher elementary grades as well.
My kids are 4years old and love working on homework
My kids are 4years old and love working on homework. This book level in the beginning catered to their abilities with shape identifications, patterns, and combinations. The illustrations looked great and supported the content clearly. The pages can also be easily wiped clean without water. I'm very impressed because some markers will leave residue on the page or water marks and looks very messy, this usually takes away from the kids attention. After wiping the page clean, you can start over again (no fighting over the page) or if you need extra room to discuss the problems. Towards the middle of the book it becomes more challenging, so its not so good for my kids now but this is something that they can work on and build.
5 Stars!!!
This book is perfect for my younger sister! She really enjoys how she can easily erase the marker and write in the book again and again. She's always on the move, but never without the book. I definitely recommended purchasing this product if your child finds it difficult to sit down and do problems in a standard workbook. I know for sure that my sister is practicing her critical thinking skills while having fun!
Best book to have for all occasions, not just for preparing for gifted and talented.
This book is excellent in all regards. The quality and the finishing itself is very good. The contents of the books is very appropriate for kids aged between 3-6. My son loves to solve the questions and he is very happy to rise upto the challenges. One of the best books out there that I bought both the edition for the gifted& talented. Of all my amazon purchases all these years, this product checks all my boxes. Workmanship, content, usefulness, worth every penny.
Great purchase for the price
The concepts seem appropriately challenging for our 3 year old. She picks up some easily and is challenged more by others, so that she looks forward to practicing each day. We love the wipe clean surface so she can practice over and over. The extra flash cards are a nice addition and I wish there was even more of them, as it keeps it interesting to switch between the book and cards. This was a great purchase for the price and seems more effective and easier to keep organized than a previous purchase of gifted flash cards we recently bought. I would highly recommend this book and I think it will be quite helpful when it's time for her to be tested.
Great logic and advanced testing workbook!
Way more pages than I expected! I love the wipe clean books, you are getting so much more for the cost. My kids did this in sections and enjoyed all the puzzles and problems throughout. This is a great logic workbook even if your kids are not doing test prep for advanced testing. It teaches young children how to look at things a different way and that will serve them as they learn. I have recommended this to many kindergarten parents. 5 stars for sure.
Practical and useful
I found the practical element of this workbook to be enormously helpful; the fact that you can erase what’s written and write in the book again and again is awesome. It helps lower the frustration when the kiddo makes a mistake or isn’t happy with what he had written. Erase and try again. The exercises themselves are age appropriate and well thought out
