[quote=Anonymous][quote]Dear Tester, I spend 45 min/day with my average 6 year-old child (he has my undivided attention for this period of time) manipulating numbers, geometric shapes and puzzles, reading and writing. He is a fluent reader and is half way through the Harry Potter series. He mastered all arithmetic operations by the age of 4 and I am working with him with fractions and negative numbers now. We have worked with fun analogy type exercises and he now makes up his own. He loves BrainPop and has gone over the 3 to 4 minutes cartoon videos (over 400) twice over the last 4 years. The subject matter encompasses technology, health, science, literature, grammar, computer science and mathematics. Signed Parent [/quote] Sounds more like an effective way to prepare ("prepping") a child for life and a deep, long and nurturing relationship with a parent than the other posters hung up on the short-term goals of WPSSI and a fat letter from Beauvoir.
