5.0 out of 5 stars effective test preparation, March 4, 2006

By	Gloria Houk (Florida) - See all my reviews

In the past, I did not feel like children should use test workbooks this early. After we enrolled in Beestar weekly reading program (an excellent web site http://www.beestar.org), we realize that there are so many kids doing so well. No wonder the standard tests keep raising the bar. A low expectation from parents only leads to low achieving children. This book boosts your child's vocabulary, reading, and test taking skills effectively. It gives you a good chance to know how much your child learned in school. No matter how he was taught, the book would cover the bases and practice what he learned. We enjoyed this fine book very much!

5.0 out of 5 stars learn from the tests, December 26, 2004

By	Sherry Wu (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scholastic Success with Tests: Reading Workbook Grade 2 (Grades 2) (Paperback)

Good reading cannot be achieved overnight. Young kids need to learn and read extensively to build their skills. Taking practice tests is an effective way, because they are questioned and results are clearly measured. Without feedback, you don't know where you are or what you need. This book provides tests on phonics, vocabulary, grammar, reading, and even reading graphs. My child used it for assessment as well as for learning. Very good contents. The book is short though; my child finished it in 3 weeks. For further practice, I found Beestar (www.beestar.org) very helpful, too. My child's reading skills are improved quickly with such test drills.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Test prep, March 31, 2007

By	Jilllie Brooks (Visalia, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scholastic Success with Tests: Reading Workbook Grade 2 (Grades 2) (Paperback)

I have been using these tests to prepare for the state test. Most of the tests are a little easy for my high kids, however they work great for my on-grade level and at-risk kids.
