If your student is in Pre-K to 4th grade and you hope to get them into a select school, consider getting them some assistance with a Varsity Tutors ECAA test preparation service. The Early Childhood Admission Assessment, or ECAA, is a test that evaluates a young student's general academic and special skills. Do you think that an ECAA preparation program would help your student? Please contact us for more information about ECAA tutoring services.
Students who take the ECAA test are between Pre-K and the 4th grade, and they dwell in the New York City area. The exam is administered to Pre-K to 2nd-grade students individually, and then their scores are compared with other children's scores who fall into their age group. Third to 4th-grade students are also given the test individually, except for the reading comprehension section, which is administered to a small group. The ECAA showcases crucial information about a student's current academic development, though it doesn't predict their future academic success. Below is a sample section of what 2nd to 4th-grade students would be tested on during the exam:
ECAA Sections for 2nd-4th Grade Students
- All Students:
- Verbal
- Similarities
- Vocabulary
- Information
- Comprehension
- Nonverbal
- Block Design
- Matrix Reasoning
- Coding
- Figure Weights
- Visual Puzzles
- Picture Span
- Verbal
- 3rd and 4th Grade Students:
- Reading Comprehension
Our ECAA courses take place in one-on-one settings, making it simpler for your pupil to study. These ECAA tutors have years of experience working with young children and are open to assisting them with anything they need.
An ECAA course is a great way to introduce schooling to a very young child. If your student is entering Pre-K, an ECAA class tutor can introduce them to an academic environment with games, songs, and other fun, yet educational tools. If your student is older, like in the 3rd or 4th grade, ECAA test prep sessions can assist them with a subject like reading comprehension. An ECAA prep instructor can try to help them better understand what they're reading by discussing the topics in the reading and by encouraging them to write down unfamiliar vocabulary words. ECAA classes can also help your student build effective study habits. An ECAA prep tutor can monitor the hours they use and offer tips on how to stay on task.
There are several skills the ECAA assesses in your student. Here's a partial list of them:
ECAA Non-Exhaustive List of Skills Assessed
- Acquiring, retaining, and applying knowledge
- Connecting abstract reasoning to verbal communication
- Auditory perception and comprehension
- Verbal comprehension and expression
- Abstract categorical reasoning
- Visual-motor coordination
- Short-term visual memory
- Spatial visualization
- Nonverbal fluid reasoning
- Visual perception
- Synthesizing abstract visual stimuli
With ECAA test prep, your student can hone these skills, which will help them throughout their academic career. A tutor can assist your student's development of these skills by finding out if they're a visual, auditory, or kinetic learner. These ECAA prep instructors can also test nonverbal skills with listening exercises, worksheets, and other tools.
An ECAA test prep program may not just benefit your student today; it may help them when they enter middle school, high school, and beyond. Perhaps they may even pursue a career in teaching one day. Is your student busy with an after-school activity? You don't need to worry about schedule conflicts because our ECAA prep programs operate on a flexible schedule. In addition, all sessions are online, so your student can communicate with a tutor from their home. Are you ready to sign your student up for ECAA test prep? Then email or call an educational consultant at Varsity Tutors today.
