Interesting how kids just work out what they need to learn next on their own...DD scored 98 on ERB (with 99 verbal) but scored below average on block design. Kept her home from camp today (sick) and she has been in her room building with Widgets blocks all day. Trying to replicate the pictures from the booklet that comes in the box. She's doing REALLY well, too! I didn't suggest it...she picked them out from her toys and is hard at work figuring out what she needs to be working on. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

And what? I find it interesting. I'm sorry is this not the schools board of a parenting web site? Or is this the snotty reply board? [ Reply | More

np: Perhaps you could have worded your post "DD scored well on the ERB, but below average on block design (etc)." See the difference? No need to post the score, and you avoid getting flamed for a VBA. [ Reply | More

OK thanks for the tip....here's one for you: Don't condescend to other adult women and you avoid being flamed for being a patronizing bitch. [ Reply | More

I don't think this can be said for all kids. For instance, my ds avoids things he's not good at. So he won't, say, draw on his own if left to his own devices. [ Reply | More

It's a memory test, not a test of ability to build. [ Reply | More

its not really a memory test either - but a test of a child's ability to perceive and replicate patterns. [ Reply | More
