I assumed he'd have plenty of time to learn both languages, but now I don't know.</p> <p>Maybe that's good that your kids speak English first! It'll probably make their life much easier in school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-parents-when-did-you-start-prepping-your-lo-for-the-gampt-test#post-1762241 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 11:32:20 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1762241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: nope they are not bilingual at all. i've done a horrible job of speaking them in korean. i think i will send charlie to korean school in the fall though.</p> <p>how old is your son? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-parents-when-did-you-start-prepping-your-lo-for-the-gampt-test#post-1762236 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 11:30:53 +0000 Mama Bird 1762236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I'm curious, are your kids bilingual? My B doesn't speak English yet, and he's kind of behind in speech. I'm wondering if I should just reach him English and give up on my first language. I'd really hate to do that, but maybe getting a good start in school is more important... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-parents-when-did-you-start-prepping-your-lo-for-the-gampt-test#post-1761824 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 09:43:34 +0000 bunnylove08 1761824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Thanks, I have some time then :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-parents-when-did-you-start-prepping-your-lo-for-the-gampt-test#post-1761823 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 09:43:03 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1761823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: she started a couple months before the test. charlie took the test a month after he turned 4, so her son was 4 years 8 months old when he took the test.</p> <p>3 sounds really early to prepare. for what it's worth, most of charlie's classmates that took the test (not everyone did) did well without much prep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-parents-when-did-you-start-prepping-your-lo-for-the-gampt-test#post-1761788 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 09:31:52 +0000 bunnylove08 1761788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Thanks for bumping </p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: thanks you for the link I'm going to look into it. Do you happen to know at what age she started to prep her LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-parents-when-did-you-start-prepping-your-lo-for-the-gampt-test#post-1761740 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 09:17:54 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1761740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we did the practice booklet twice about a week or two before. we didn't do much prep because we're zoned for a great local school.</p> <p>my friend prepped daily for months leading up to the test, up to an hour each day. she bought the test prep materials and he scored a 99. here's the site:</p> <p><a href="http://www.bright-kids.com/nyc/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bright-kids.com/nyc/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-parents-when-did-you-start-prepping-your-lo-for-the-gampt-test#post-1761714 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 09:10:27 +0000 autumnlove 1761714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bumping for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-parents-when-did-you-start-prepping-your-lo-for-the-gampt-test#post-1749343 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 09:37:52 +0000 bunnylove08 1749343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering when you started to prep your LO for the G&amp;T test. We are no way pushing LO to get into the program. </p> <p>My cousin's DD was accepted into G&amp;T for kindergarten and she started to talk to me about how she prepped her child. She said I should start next year (DD is going to be 2 in Sept) and she thinks she can totally get in if we start to do the activities with her. </p> <p>I'm wondering if 3 is too early to start. Also what resources (workbooks, apps, etc?) did you use to help your child prepare for the test? </p>
