An OLSAT and Stanford-Binet Test Prep Question Brought to Life By My Dogs #3

Share

Today’s post is a practice OLSAT and Stanford-Binet test question to get your child ready for gifted and talented testing. It is brought to life by Olive and Bronco Quinn. Even if your child isn’t taking an IQ test, this activity is great for building your child’s memory, receptive and expressive language skills.

As you’ll remember, in a common type question on the OLSAT test, your child is shown a picture of three dogs (for example). One is named Joey, One is named Chippy, and one is named Tinker. The child is told that Joey enjoys chasing worms. Chippy enjoys chewing plastic. Tinker enjoys turning in circles. Then the child is asked, what does Joey enjoy? What does Chippy enjoy? What does Tinker enjoy? The child has to listen carefully because the question can’t be repeated (since receptive language and memory skills are being assessed). Watch the video together and read the words to the story. Then ask her the questions below.

To make this a Stanford-Binet type question, watch the video together and read the words to the story. Then ask your child to tell you in her own words what happened in the story. “Tell me more?” “What else?” The actual images on an OLSAT and Stanford-Binet question are static versus the moving images on this video. On the Stanford-Binet, the child has to interpret the image without any words being read to her. But doing this activity with your child will build the same underlying skill sets needed for both tests. This happens to be a hard activity because several things are going on in the video, but just see how well your child pays attention to the story and how many questions she can answer or how well she can retell what happened. She will get better at this with practice.

1. What is the name of the black dog?
2. What is the name of the brown/orange dog?
3. What are the dogs learning in school?
4. Which dog learned to raise her paw to ask a question?
5. What did Bronco learn to do?
6. What did Olive do at the end of the video?
