Dear Parent/Guardian: We will be giving tests to measure your child’s learning. These tests include questions that relate to the information your child is learning in school. The tests may be standardized and used throughout the nation, or they may be specific to our state. Regardless of the test, the results are used to measure student achievement. Many students do not test well even though they know the material. They may not test well because of test anxiety or the mystery of taking tests. What will the test look like? What will some of the questions be? What happens if I do not do well? To help your child do his/her best on the tests, we will be using some practice tests. These tests help your child learn what the tests will look like, what some of the questions might be, and ways to learn to take tests. These practice tests will be included as part of your child’s homework. You can help your child with this important part of learning. Below are some suggestions: • Ask your child if he/she has homework. • Provide a quiet place to work. • Go over the work with your child. • Use a timer to help your child learn to manage his/her time when taking tests. • Tell your child he/she is doing a good job. • Remind him/her to use the clues that are included in the lessons. If your child is having difficulty with the tests, these ideas may be helpful: • Review the examples. • Skip the difficult questions and come back to them later. • Guess at those that you do not know. • Answer all the questions. By showing you are interested in how your child is doing, he/she will do even better in school. Enjoy this time with your child. Good luck with the practice tests. Sincerely,
