 400+ Workbooks, 20 Topics, 4 Levels

 

Over 400 workbooks are grouped into 4 Ability Levels and target 20 different topics. 

Select the level which best fits each student’s individual learning needs, regardless of his or her chronological age.

 

 

Level One

Our resources begin at Level One – suitable for students of any age who are just able to grasp a pencil and make simple scribbles on the page, and who are able to communicate at a very basic level using a few simple words or gestures.  Over 1,500+ pages of resources are available to support educators in the development of fine motor skills, receptive and expressive communication skills, pre-emergent literacy and numeracy skills, concept formation, spatial awareness, motor memory, mid-line crossover, and much, much more.

Level Two

Level Two continues this resource support, with another 1,500+ pages – suitable for students of any age who are functioning an academic level typically associated with early elementary or primary school.  Additional Workbooks added at this level include critical thinking skills, personal development and protective behaviours, processing speed and accuracy, phonemic awareness and much more.  Functional Literacy and Numeracy are supported through spiral curriculum workbooks which teach new concepts in a very gradual progression, with frequent re-visits to concepts previously learned.   A constant emphasis on applying previously learned skills in novel situations helps to students reinforce and apply key concepts.

Level Three

Level Three provides another 1,000+ pages suitable for students of any age whose functional academic skills are typically associated with middle elementary or primary school.  Almost all topics from Level Two are continued in Level Three.  This depth of resources ensures that regardless of each student’s rate of learning, their teachers will have constant access to stimulating, vibrant and novel resources appropriate to their individual needs.

Level Four

Level Four provides another 2,000+ pages suitable for students whose functional academic skills are typically associated with upper elementary or junior high school.  Even at this level, all Workbooks remain highly visual, with highly adapted tasks suitable for students with ongoing difficulties forming and applying abstract concepts.  Many of the Workbooks focus on specific topics commonly found in mainstream curriculum.  This allows students to participate to the fullest extent in mainstream activities, but then complete adapted tasks on the same topic at a level suitable to their needs.  Level Four is the highest academic level that Precision Academics targets.   Once students are able to complete Level Four Workbooks with relative independence, then they are quite able to use many of the hundreds of other excellent resources already available to support their learning needs.

 


Placement and Progress Tests

 

English: Functional Literacy           and            Mathematics: Functional Numeracy               have diagnostic Placement and Progress Tests to assist you to determine the best starting points for each student and to help you to monitor each student’s progress over time.  

 

You may find this Table helps guide your decision of which Workbooks may be the best starting point for your student, based on their Pre-Testing Results:

 

This Table is to be used as a GUIDELINE only – You must take into account other factors such as the student’s age, individual areas of strength and challenge, topics required etc.

 

Use your professional  judgement and knowledge of each student’s individual needs  to determine the best starting level for each student.

Challenge Me

 These workbooks are similar to the Creative Minds, except that in the Challenge Me series the students can answer directly onto the screen.  All of the other Precision Academics workbooks are “locked” in the PDF format, but Challenge Me workbooks are in “Microsoft Word” which allows the student to answer directly onto the screen.  Make ABSOLUTELY SURE you save a separate copy for each individual student.
