There are so many apps out there that can help your child prepare for the NNAT, you just need to know which ones are good! It can be difficult to navigate through the app store and find which one will really help your child study for the NNAT. I have found several different apps that will help your child improve in core skill areas, which will benefit them on their NNAT exam.
- Montessori Crosswords: This app is designed for the iPad and iPhone and is available for $2.99. While not directly for the NNAT test, this app focuses on the phonetic elements of reading. This app does a great job of teaching the child the sound of the letter, while including mini-games like crossword puzzles. Great reward for your child from NNAT preparation.
- TeachMe Toddler: This app is designed for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and is only $0.99! This app is great for core knowledge your toddler should know before the NNAT test. Covering letters, numbers, shapes and colors, this app can really help supplement NNAT study for a more fun alternative to practice questions. You can track your child’s progress and there is a simple interface for the child to work with.
- Monkey Preschool Lunchbox: This app is designed for the iPod and iPad and is only 99 cents! You can practice directly for the NNAT exam with their puzzle feature, working on visual/spatial reasoning while on the road! This app also includes sorting, which is great for the NNAT skill of what belongs and recognizing objects. There is also shape and color recognition, which comes up on the NNAT exam.
There are a lot of good resources for children taking the NNAT. You can also help prepare your child for the NNAT with Testing Mom’s Space Baby Academy. This is the portion of the test prep site where children can work in Study Island, Reading Eggs, Manga High and more to improve their NNAT scores! You can check out the Space Baby Summer Enrichment program here. Good luck on your NNAT study!
