Overview
Schools in 45 states now administer annual standardized tests, designed to gauge children's proficiency in reading, and, in many cases, to determine who gets promoted and who doesn't. These latest volumes in the critically-acclaimed Get Ready For Standardized Tests series arm parents with proven tools and techniques to help assess their children's basic reading skill levels; pinpoint their specific problem areas; reinforce their proficiency; gauge their progress; and instill them with the confidence and test-taking know-how needed to shine on virtually any standardized test.
