First Day of School - Kindergarten Test Preparation

 In this "First Day of School" video, testing expert Karen Quinn has her dogs "act out" a question that is found on the OLSAT, ERB, Stanford-Binet, or WPPSI - common IQ tests given for gifted and talented qualification.  Show this to your pre-school age children, read the words on the video, and see if they can answer the questions that follow.  

1. What is the name of the dog who is going to his first day of school? (Max/Maxi)

2. Why is Max staying next to his mommy instead of playing with the other dogs? (He was shy, afraid).

3. What happened that made Max like school in the end? (He made a friend)

In her book, Testing For Kindergarten, Karen offers a low cost alternative to expensive and overly complicated kindergarten test prep materials on the market today.
