Flashcard Study System for the National Board Certification Literacy: Reading - Language Arts: Early and Middle Childhood Exam: National Board ... National Board Certification Exam (Cards)

I was looking for something to prepare me for the NBPTS exam and purchased this flash card set. It is really hefty- meaning...it's a lot to get through. The information is very good but maybe overwhelming and is very theoretical and only covers a quarter of what the testing schedule states. These cards are really focused on you as a professional in a community and key terminology rather than strategy in the classroom. I would probably focus on most of the textbooks that you used during your pedagogy preparation courses and of course the information and knowledge you've acquired through your career. Some great books I recommend to help brush up are: Yardsticks by Chip Wood (goes over the mental/cognitive stages of children ages 4-14 and how it looks in the classroom...super helpful for knowing your students)6+1 Traits of Writing by Ruth Culham, Literacy for the 21st Century by Gail E. Tompkin, Teaching for Comprehension in Reading K-2 by Pinell and Scharer, even Patricia Cunningham and Marie Clay books.Don't get me wrong, I'll probably get through these, during those very ambitious summer mornings, but if you're getting ready to prepare for the exam, this might take up a great deal of time.

I had my reservations about purchasing these flashcards due to other reviews. I wish I would have listened to the bad reviews. The flashcards are informative and helped me refresh some forgotten knowledge, but in NO WAY PREPARED ME for the National Board Certification Exam. I'm still not sure the best way to study for the exam, but I do know for a fact these flashcards ARE NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

These flashcards were only somewhat helpful because the National Board process is being completely revised. These cards reflect the old program.

I have just started working with these flashcards, but I am already finding them to be very helpful. They cover a broad range of topics and provide excellent examples and explanations.

It has been most helpful. I know there is a pandemic and businesses may not be up and running, but your response back to me was very quick and helpful.

I am currently studying for the exam in June. I believe that much of the information on the cards will be helpful, I just don't know the exact focus of the exam in terms of content (early childhood literacy vs. middle childhood literacy and/or educational theorists vs. behavioral behavioral, etc...) There are a lot of cards to study so order early and begin the study process well before the exam.

These will not help you on the NB test.

I think the product is great. I really like that it is printed on Card-stock and the nice size of the font on each card.
