What Grades 1–2 practices
- Finding the one wrong sentence in a short answer
- Skip counting and simple number patterns
- Two-person logic grids with picture clues
- Word pairs: opposites, parts and wholes
- Asking clear questions instead of vague ones
It's practice, not a test: no scores that label your child, and no promises about grades.
