Resources

Every Tuesday we go to our local library.  One one such trip I found a handout printed by St. Charles City-County Library District that list resources available to library members.  The handout included kid friendly search engines on science and history, but the one that catch my eye was a resource for standardized testing.  The resource is called Learning Express.  First, you need to go to www.youranswerplace.org.  This is the library system website.  Type Learning Express in the search box.  Click on the link that appears.  You will need to create an account, but once created you will have access to the tests available.  The test are listed under the elementary tab.  Included in the math category is 4th grade math practice, 4th grade math diagnostic test, CAL 4th grade math, FCAT 5th grade math (Florida's standardized test), and Texas 4th grade math test.  The is also several reading skill improvement test available under the elementary tab.  In addition to elementary tab, there is a middle school and high school tab.  I have not investigate those tabs.  If you do, please submit a comment. 
So, are you saying, that's great but I am not a St. Charles County resident.  I can't get access to the St Charles City-County website.  Good news!  The St. Charles County Library system has a co-operative with St. Louis County Library system.  So, even though you are not a resident of St. Charles County you can still obtain a St. Charles County library card.  By the way, this works both ways.  If you are a St. Charles County resident you can still receive a St. Louis County library card. You can check the near locations to you a www.youranswerplace.org
