The Roadmap series works as a year-long companion to earning
higher grades, as well as passing the high-stakes 4th Grade
Social Stiudies Ohio Proficiency Test that is necessary for
grade level promotion. This book has been designed according
to the specific standards set forth by the state of Ohio.
Now parents can work with their kids to both improve their
grades and pass these important tests.
The experts at The Princeton Review have analyzed the OPT,
and this book provides the most up-to-date, thoroughly researched
practice possible. TPR breaks the test down into individual
skills and provides lessons modeled after the OPT to familiarize
students with the test’s structure, while increasing
their overall skill level.
The Princeton Review knows what it takes to succeed in the
classroom and on tests. This book includes strategies that
are proven to raise student performance. TPR provides:
Content review, detailed lessons, and practice exercises
modeled after the actual exam
Test-taking skills and social studies essentials such
as using charts and graphs and reading maps
Engaging for the child. Mostly math and language
activities of differnt types, styles, and complexities. Tasks
get progressively harder toward the new school year. A good
general purpose review and prep to keep skills fresh and build
a few new ones before schools starts in August. Moderately
well-illustrated. Encourages independent reading and offers
a suggested reading list--though parents should review any
of these books for appropriateness for their child. Books
off this list that increase vocabulary and reading skill without
frustrating your child are also very appropriate. The key
is for the child to enjoy reading challenging materials--let
your child choose what interests them as much as possible.

Some kids collect baseball cards. I collect words.
Hi! I'm the Word Whiz. I didn't become a Whiz all on my own
-- my parents and teachers helped me. And together, you and
I can help your child master more than 400 vocabulary words
that elementary school students need to know for tests, in
class, and when doing homework. Really important words for
subjects like:
English Language Arts: narrator, opinion, scene, antonym,
motivation
Math: average, volume, numerator, intersect, quadrilateral
Social Studies: equator, consequences, citizen, minority,
tyranny
Science: mammal, nutrients, soluble, condensation, recycle
I've also included words commonly used in questions on New
York State tests, such as probability, estimate, and represent.
I made up some really fun activities to help your student
learn these words. Since I'm in elementary school, my exercises
involve things kids my age are interested in, like TV, movies,
games, sports, and music. They come with:
WhizTips: extra hints on how to learn vocabulary words
and ace tests.
On the Test: examples of how the words are used on the
New York State tests.
I also wrote this huge WhizWord list in back with kid-friendly
(and parent-friendly!) definitions and sample sentences. The
words in this book will come in handy for the rest of your
child's life...So let's get started!
This book has over 200 grade specific activities, so your
kids learn the right skills for their grade level.
As your children master these skills, they become better prepared
for homework, class assignments, and tests.
Practice sheets help build the confidence necessary for success.
The activities are written, tested, and approved by teachers.
The complete home-study program to help children practice
the essential math skills they learn in school. Matches the
math curriculum so your children will reach their full potential
in school -- and on important standardized tests! The successful
way to improve your child's math. These workbooks have been
compiled and tested by a team of math experts to increase
your child's confidence, enjoyment, and success at school.
