Administering The Test

Administer the test to the student according to the guidelines above.

Issue test booklets, one at a time, with two sharpened pencils and blank paper. Have the

student write their name, age, and birth date on the test results page.

It is important that tests be administered without coaching. The material should not be

read to the student with the exception of the Word Building Test.

Instruct the student to try to answer all questions. If a question cannot be answered, skip

it and go to the next question. When a student can work no further, skip that page and try

the questions on the next two pages. If most of the questions are being skipped, take up

the test booklets.

Administer the Word Building Test orally by reading each word. Begin with the first list, include each word in a sentence, and have the student write the word on a separate sheet of paper. Continue reading each list until the words become too difficult for the student.

Setting Up Your Learning Center

Here are some practical considerations that will make it easier for you to home school.

Select a room in which the student can work with minimal distractions. Anything that helps the student’s learning environment is an educational asset. Whatever place you choose, make sure that it has good lighting. This could be the corner of a family room or a spare bedroom. Some families use the dining room or kitchen table.

You will want to provide a place in the room for a small bulletin board where the student’s Goal Card and Student Progress Chart can be displayed, preferably immediately in front of where the student works.

If you have more than one student, each student should have an individual workspace.

You will need to provide a separate area where the students scores and tests. This could be a sewing machine table, a corner on the kitchen counter, a game table, etc. If available, choose an area that allows the students to stand upright. Whatever you choose, use it consistently.
