A Comprehensive Children’s Software Learning System – Kids Ages 1 to 5.
Be Smart Kids provides assessments as a tool for teachers and parents to use to determine when a child is ready to advance to the next level. Assessments can also be used to determine where in the Be Smart Kids program a child should be placed. The learning system is made up of levels and sub-levels. Each sub-level, with the exception of Level 1, is made up of 10 lesson plans (Level 1 only has 5 lesson plans). At the end of each level (Level 1, Level 2A, Level 2B, Level 3A, etc.), an assessment will be taken.
How to take the Assessments:
Answer "Yes" or "No" to the assessment questions for the level your child has completed.
For example, when your child finishes Be Smart Kids level 1 Lesson 5, answer the questions in the
Be Smart Kids Level 1 Assessment. If you answer "Yes" to all the questions, your child can proceed to the next level. If you answer
"No" to any of the questions, return to the first Lesson of the Be Smart Kids level you just completed and repeat
all of the lessons, teaching one lesson a week as if beginning again. It is not unusual for a child to repeat a level. It does not indicate failure.
