I recommend the guide very highly and without hesitation. After reading some other reviews of it I bought some other study guides as well, but all I did was waste money. The XAM guides certainly are the greatest. I have used them for 3 FTCE exams and I passed each one the very first time around. I have been out of college for 23 years.

As the editor for this publication, I have taken the concerns of new teachers and implemented changes in the document. I have included definitions of terms when necessary and overall made the language more user friendly. Any incorrect spellings have been corrected as well as changes made from passive to active voice.
I have also added information based on my 30+ years of teaching experience that will make the job easier for new teachers. There are numerous weblinks added to the document so that users can consult other sources of information to help them increase their knowledge.
This document is an awesome resource for those studying to take the exam for certification as an elementary teacher in Florida.

FTCE's XAMonline study guide for elementary education k-6 gets two stars because at least it gives some information. However, the information is incomplete and it is very is poorly written. Its unorganized. It doesn't give the definition of key terms when the terms are introduced (refer to the topic of the very first chapter "Emergent Literature"). Obviously, the writers agree a definition is needed because they do provide one, but not until 3 sections after they've introduced and discussed the key term. In addition, all discusion of the topic at hand is incomplete and disconnected at best. I understand the authors don't claim to teach the content but to simply provide a review, but at the very least the review could be readable. This company doesn't have its customer's best interest in mind and since they have a no known competition, we're forced to study from a less than quality source and take our chances passing this test.

This study guide is well-researched and an excellent reference for new teachers. The book is aligned to Florida's outlined guidelines for elementary educators, and it provides specific information for the skills creating each competency. Written by teachers, this practical guide covers the basics of elementary subjects including Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education/Health, and the Arts. Whether used for a new teacher just entering the classroom or as a reference during your teaching career, this book is a must-have for teachers!
