I will be offering small group testing sessions again this spring. I offer a comfortable format for your child and have ten years experience as a certified test administrator of the Iowa and Stanford Achievement Tests. I have limited spaces, but will offer Iowa First Grade, Iowa Second Grade, Iowa grades 3- 6, Iowa grades 7-8, and one session for high schoolers (Iowa or Stanford). The group size depends on ages and includes one of my own children. There may be a session for Stanford elementary level if needed. Returning students will have priority. Please call me afternoons or evenings. --Phyllis Babcock

Piedmont offers these solutions to your testing needs:

• Tests of Achievement & Proficiency - vocabulary, reading comprehension, written expression, math, social studies, science and information resources for Grades 9-12.


• Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement (Rev.) - not timed, primarily verbal, individually administered, reduces errors caused by child's reading difficulties, eliminates guessing, provides immediate feedback, goes beyond grade level to pinpoint achievement levels, especially good for slow starters or disabilities, takes only 1-2 hours of time, for Grades K5-12.


• Deadline to order test(s) is February 15, 1999. Call Greg for details, order forms and fees. (You can register for the Woodcock-Johnson Test via phone.)
