my child was 4 yrs 3 months when taking the exam, and she could read and do math at a first grade level. we read a lot of berenstain bears/pete the cat/disney stories together, and I’d make flash cards of any words she didn’t know. for math we didn’t follow any specific book, just used worksheets from a variety of sources (ixl, spectrum, sg, kumon). she could add/subtract any number under 100 that didn’t include borrowing or carryover.
If you’re in tier 4, your child must comfortably be at a first grade level in both reading and math when taking the SEES assessment. for reading I got whatever level 1 books interested my child (berestain bears, pete the cat, disney stories) so we could read them together, and I’d make flash cards of any words she struggled with. for math we used a variety of worksheets from books like IXL, spectrum, SG etc, just make sure they cover up to first grade. your child should be able to add/subtract any numbers that doesn’t include borrowing/carryover.
hah, that’s a relief to know the discrepancy is not uncommon then! I know the questions between the two types are quite different.
my child scored 99.9% in both classical reading and math with a 272.5 point total and was offered SN for kindergarten (our first choice).
the RGC score was 192.5 – while we focused mainly on math and reading when preparing for the SEES test and did very minimal RGC preparation, it’s still surprising how there can be such a huge gap in assessment between classical and RGC.
