A nice book to learn about the STAR tests. It gives concise reviews of what the kid needs to know, so you can check her readiness. The test taking tips are very useful for first-timers to raise scores. A very helpful warm-up for both parents and kids. Note that such a thin book doesn't do much to improve math or reading. That requires daily learning in school and study in home. There is a nice web site http://www.beestar.org you can use weekly to assess your child's skill levels step by step. With the fundamentals in place, this book is a nice warm-up.
