Questions
Is NAPLAN worth preparing for?
The test itself is a snapshot, and we would not want a family stressed about it. What is worth doing is closing the gaps it reveals, which is useful whatever the result.
Will this improve my child's band?
We do not promise a band. What we promise is that the skills underneath are taught and proven, and that the format is familiar.
When should we start?
The term before. Six weeks is enough for format familiarity. Closing a real skills gap takes longer.
