I've been asking around for the same thing. I don't want to have to give them a standardized test. I want to give them a test that I can work on with him. THey have great tests for preschoolers, but after that everything is really standardized. I let you know if I find anything.

hmm... I seem to recall a series of books being out there.. something
along the lines of "what your __grader needs to know"
I think it went up to 6th grade.
Should I locate the data I'll let you know.

THose books are good MArk, but not very comprhensive, and not a test. YOu can find checklists on most parenting sites for children birth -5 I'll see if I can find one for you. I'm still talking to the teachers at the local school, and i'm hopefully, going to get a checklist for my boys. No one can think of any test that is interactive for children over 5. SOmeone really needs to make one, if their isn't one.

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
