Spectrum Test Prep, Grade 3

Rating:
Summary: nice practice book for the real tests
Review: A high quality workbook in the spectrum series. It organizes 3rd grade math and reading in progressive topics and gives drills on each of them in standard test format. Very comprehensive. The content is similar to the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. Well designed problems and questions. Easy to follow test skills are introduced for the first timers as well.

If your child has never experienced a standard test. This is the book to start with. It will definitely help your 3rd grader grasp the fundamentals. My son finished this thin book in 4 weeks. To keep up the practice, we also use a Houston community web site beestar.org. It provides free daily math exercises in standard test format. My son does very well there thanks to the solid skills he learned from this book. I highly recommend it.
