Why Use Prep Kits ?
Many students (and individuals for whom English is a second language) struggle with how to study all the information in the Driver’s Handbook and the Discover Canada Guide. When they fail the test, it is hard on their self-esteem, it is expensive and, in some cases, it interferes with their livelihood.
The Prep Kits are a series of concepts that summarize the Driver’s Handbook and Discover Canada Guide into smaller more manageable units of information.
The app and cards allow people to create an “I know it” pile and “I don’t know it” pile. This shows them how well they know the information. Because people tend to keep reviewing what they already know and ignore what they don’t know, this eliminates this problem and provides individuals with a clear idea of when they are ready to take the test.
There are many on-line multiple choice tests which are good for testing knowledge, but are not the most effective way to learn the material. This system was created so that people are able to recall the information rather than just recognize correct information. This results in better understanding of material and safer drivers.
Proceeds from the sale of the Prep Kits
The kits sell for approximately $20 with proceeds supporting the Right to Read project — LDAA’s initiative to provide teacher in-service so they can more readily identify children in Kindergarten and Grade 1 who may be at risk for reading problems and disabilities.
