OLSAT and Stanford-Binet Test Preparation
A common question that appears on Stanford-Binet test assesses your child's thinking, memory, and expressive language skills. This test is often used across the country to qualify children for gifted and talented or GATE program admissions. The child is shown a picture and is asked, tell me what is happening in this picture? What else? In this video, my dogs Olive and Bronco are acting out a little story. Watch it with your child and read the words. Then ask her, "What is happening?" "Can you tell me more?"
The Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT) assesses your child's language and memory skills. This test is also used across the country to qualify children for gifted and talented or GATE program admissions. The child is shown a photo or drawing of three dogs (for example). One is named "Boo," one is named "Ga Ga," and the other is "Luna." The child is told that Boo enjoys chasing cats, Ga Ga enjoys eating bugs, and Luna enjoys digging. Then the child is asked, "What does Ga Ga enjoy?" "What does Boo enjoy?" "What does Luna enjoy?" The child has to listen carefully because the question can't be repeated (since receptive language and memory skills are being assessed).
