Both Exams — Week of Routine --> Short daily 15–20 min practice, consistent bedtime, active breaks, simple breathing (inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 6). On test day: eat, hydrate, and move for 2 minutes before sitting. #CogAT #IowaAssessments #ParentTips

IOWA — Science & Social Studies Passages --> Before reading, preview headings, captions, and bold terms. Turn each into a question you want the text to answer. Purposeful reading = faster recall. #IowaAssessments #StudySkills

PrepCraft @prepcraft.bsky.social · 5d

IOWA — Writing: CER/RACE --> For short responses: Claim → Evidence → Reasoning (or Restate → Answer → Cite → Explain). One clear example often beats two vague ones. #IowaAssessments #ShortResponse

IOWA — Multi Digit Multiplication Hack --> Teach distributive property: 23×14 = 23×(10+4) = 230 + 92 = 322. This builds number sense and reduces errors. #IowaAssessments #Math

We saw the complaints about other test prep sites: confusing navigation and slow access. We built PrepCraft to be fast, intuitive, and fully functional on the tablets kids actually use. Learning shouldn't be hidden behind a bad interface. #IowaAssessments #AssessmentTip #ExamSuccess #StudentSuccess

IOWA — Word Problems: Draw It --> Encourage quick sketches (bars, pies, number lines). Seeing quantities makes operations obvious (add vs. multiply). #IowaAssessments #VisualMath

PrepCraft @prepcraft.bsky.social · 6d

IOWA — Calculator/Tools --> Policies vary; check your school’s rules. Practice both with and without a calculator so your child isn’t surprised on test day. #IowaAssessments #Prepared

PrepCraft @prepcraft.bsky.social · 6d

IOWA — Pacing Plan --> Two passes: (1) Sure things first, lightly circle tricky numbers/words; (2) return to circled. Don’t let one hard item eat 5 minutes. #IowaAssessments #TimeManagement

PrepCraft @prepcraft.bsky.social · 6d

IOWA — Bubble Sheet Accuracy --> Do a row check every 5 questions: finger on question number, finger on bubble row—confirm alignment. Fix drift early. #IowaAssessments #TestDay #BubbleSheet #RowCheck #AlignmentCheck #TestPrep

We don't believe in "gotcha" fine print. We believe in results. PrepCraft prioritizes your peace of mind and your child's education over tricky billing tactics. #preprcaft #trasparency

IOWA — Editing Strategy --> Read the sentence out loud (softly) to catch missing words + awkward phrasing. Our ears catch errors our eyes skip. #IowaAssessments #WritingSkills #EditingTips

Raise your hand if you’ve ever had to juggle multiple logins and websites for one learning platform. 🙋‍♀️ Fragmented learning is frustrating. PrepCraft keeps everything—Math, Reading, CogAT prep, and games—under one roof. One login, zero confusion. #IowaAssessments #Writing

PrepCraft @prepcraft.bsky.social · 8d

IOWA — Grammar Quick Wins --> FANBOYS tip: For compound sentences joined by for/and/nor/but/or/yet/so, use a comma before the conjunction if both sides are complete sentences. #IowaAssessments #Writing #Grammar #EnglishGrammar #ImproveYourWriting

IOWA — Vocabulary From Context --> Look for definition (is/means), example (such as), contrast (however), or cause/effect (because) clue words around the target term. #IowaAssessments #WordWork

IOWA — Reading: Inference vs. Fact --> Teach the test: Fact = stated. Inference = best conclusion from clues + prior knowledge. Ask “What clues support this?” #IowaAssessments #Comprehension #Comprehension #ReadingComprehension

🧱 Fragmented content makes kids quit. Our single, coherent journey keeps them in flow—from hint → explanation → retry. Experience flow → prepcraft.ai #UX #FragmentedContent #eLearning #EdTech #UserExperience

IOWA — Reading: Evidence First --> When a question asks “Which detail supports…”, make your child point to the line or sentence before picking an answer. No evidence = no pick. #IowaAssessments #CloseReading #LearningTips

PrepCraft @prepcraft.bsky.social · 10d

🗺️ Tip: Before any practice set, ask your child to set a goal (“2 mistakes max,” “show all work”). Goal + reflection = growth. We build this in. Start → prepcraft.ai #GrowthMindset #LiteracyIsKey #EducationMatters

PrepCraft @prepcraft.bsky.social · 10d

IOWA — Reading: Main Idea --> After a paragraph, summarize in 10 words or fewer: “Who/what + what about it.” If you can’t, reread that paragraph only. #IowaAssessments #Reading #ReadingSkills #SummarizeInTenWords #ComprehensionStrategy

PrepCraft @prepcraft.bsky.social · 10d

IOWA — Graphs & Tables --> Before answering, read title, labels, units, scale. Ask: “What increased? What decreased? By how much?” Then look for patterns (steady, jump, dip). #IowaAssessments #DataLiteracy #MathEducation #MathFundamentals #MathCompetency

🧩 Not just answers—strategies. Preppal shows how to spot distractors, estimate, and check work. Strategy > memorization. See it → prepcraft.ai #SmartPractice #preppal #prepcraft
