我们学区考CogAT ITBSCogAT包括verbal, quantitativenonverbalITBS包括math reading。友情提醒,考试要按照高一年纪准备,比如我娃一年级,要做二年级的题。

准备前建议找点模拟题做一下,一是熟悉题型,二是找到知识薄弱点,重点突击。

ITBSTest Best Itbs Grade 2, LVL 8 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0811428591/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

CogAT Form 7 Practice Test - Second Grade (Level 8) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1935858475/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

这里也有两套CogAT的题。http://www.mercerpublishing.com/cogat.html

 

先说ITBS  reading。听说很多孩子reading是短板,需要提前一年开始系统补习。拿不到90 percentile以上(才相当于错5道题),你其他考得再高也没用了。我娃reading还行,复习的重点放在补窟窿上了。比如我娃phonics不好,就用了下面的书补。

Spectrum Phonics, Grade 2 (McGraw-Hill Learning Materials Spectrum) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1561899429/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

这本也不错,对阅读理解很有帮助。

Nonfiction Reading Comprehension: Social Studies, Grades 2-3 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1420680234/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

再说数学,包括ITBSmathCogATquantitative/nonverbal。我娃数学不太好,所以用了下面的书做了系统的复习。这书非常好,感觉我娃的数学能力,逻辑能力和图形能力都有了很大的提高。

Mathematical Reasoning Supplement - Grades 2-4 http://www.rainbowresource.com/product/Mathematical+Reasoning+Supplement+-+Grades+2-4/051051/f76d48eb29a14efbea45277a?subject=10&category=8655

CogAT来说,Analogy很重要,基本贯穿了整个CogAT的三个部分,有verbal analogy (verbal), math analogy (quantitative), and figure analogy (nonverbal)。下面这本书很有帮助。

Analogies for Beginners http://www.amazon.com/Analogies-Beginners-Dianne-Draze/dp/1593630468/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1395987303&sr=1-2&keywords=beginning+analogies

还有这本书也不错,对CogAT  nonverbal部分很有帮助。

Building Thinking Skills (level 1) http://www.amazon.com/Building-Thinking-Skills%C2%AE-Level-1/dp/1601441495/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1396025449&sr=1-1&keywords=Building+Thinking+Skills

再有就是多做题了,testing mom里的题还挺多的。http://www.testingmom.com/

闲着也是闲着, 这么点东西和学中文花的时间比起来是毛毛雨。
glock17c 回复 悄悄话 yeah. thanks. 我们不考这个,但是我家喜欢做这个。

请问, 你们有没有参加math kangaroo或者beestar的比赛?
Blue.Crab 回复 悄悄话 可怜天下父母心! However, if your seven year old had to work twice as hard as other seven year old kids, your kid lost already. Let your kid be all he/she can be, but you have to realize that not every kid can be as smart as Albert Einstein.
zhhw 回复 悄悄话 收藏了。我们这儿不考这,就当补漏洞了呗。谢谢!
