I am Happy to announce that I am one of the lucky Kaplan test drive moms!
Mom central always seems to have the best blog tours and test drive teams around. I love working with them. A few weeks ago I got invited to sign up for the Kaplan test drive moms. When I received the invite I knew this was something that we needed! My Son has been in gifted classes since 1st grade however since starting middle school this year; I have noticed that he is struggling with math. My Daughter Jasmine has always had trouble with math and NO matter what we have tried it never works! We have tried tutors, extra help at school and home plus websites that provide math games. Both the kids do well in reading but I would love to see Jasmine improve.
Kaplan Tutoring uses a technology called Smart Track, which smoothly customizes a program based on your child’s math and reading level determined by an online assessment. As your child progresses through the program, the material continues to adapt, becoming harder on topics your child masters, and easing back to accommodate struggles. Fun, interactive characters and the Reward Zone, where you can redeem points for prizes, help kids stay motivated to continuously come back and push themselves to learn more. Also, as a parent you can be involved in your child’s learning process by using a feature that allows you to track their progress.
When I told the kids about the program and that they got accepted, they weren’t as happy as I was! We took the afternoon to look over the site to get a feel for it. I was shocked when the kids were asking if they could go ahead and take the pre- assessment. They took the assessment and actually enjoyed it. They also love the point system where they can redeem for very nice prizes. We will be doing the program for the next 8 weeks and I already feel that this might be what I have been looking for. To fully benefit from the program each student should dedicate at least two hours per week to using Kaplan Tutoring. Which Is very easy to do especially on the weekends.
I wrote this review while participating in a Test Drive Program by Mom Central on behalf of Kaplan and received the products necessary to facilitate my review. In addition, I received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.
