Puzzles for Young Children
Puzzles for Young Children gives you the puzzles to thoroughly prepare children for kindergarten admissions testing. Brought to you by test-prep experts Central Park Tutors, the book includes:
Ninety gorgeously designed, full color, puzzles - each on their own page for easy focus
Thorough prep for any exam based on the OLSAT, NNA2, or Kindergarten Readiness Test - including the NYC Gifted and Talented Test
More than forty pages of detailed guidance on how to understand admissions tests and how to work with your child in effective, naturally joyous ways
Organized by the ten major reasoning types on kindergarten admissions exams, each puzzle is also a work of art, based on a modern master — from Any Warhol, to Alexander Calder, Paul Klee to Henry Matisse — to inspire you and your child to draw out their inner genius and apply their innate brilliance to admissions testing.
