How it works

Pick the level where your child feels comfortable now, not the grade they're in.

1

Give the check

Short parts with 3 problems each, from easier to full grade level. No timer, and it's fine to split it up.

2

Score it

The scoring page has the key. Every part gets 0 to 3 points.

Using it

At home

Go at your learner's pace, one step or one page at a time. Read the grown-up guide once and you're ready, no teaching background needed.

In a classroom

Run it as an intervention, a small group or independent practice. It prints clean on the school copier.

Questions

Which level should I start with?

The level that matches where your child feels comfortable now. If most parts score 0 or 1, also give the level below. If most score 3, try the level above.

Is this a test my child can fail?

No. It only shows where teaching should start. Every part tells you something useful, including the ones they skip.

What do I do with the scores?

Enter them at wiggle-wise.com/placement.html for free results, or get a Custom Plan built around them.

How do I get my files?

Right after checkout you'll see download buttons, and we email you a link too. Everything is saved in My Library to re-download anytime.

Will it print in black and white?

Yes. Every page is designed to print clean in black and white on a home printer or a school copier.

Can I use it with a whole class?

Yes. One purchase covers one classroom or one family. Buying for several teachers or a whole school? See school licenses.

What if I have a problem or a question?

Because these are instant digital downloads, all sales are final. If something isn't working the way you hoped, or you have any question at all, email hello@wiggle-wise.com and we'll help.
