Next week, your student will take the Iowa Assessments™. We hope that with your support and encouragement, your student will do his or her best on the tests.You can help your student do his or her best by considering these tips:
- Make sure your student gets a good night's sleep and eats a healthy breakfast before each day of testing.
- Make sure that your student is in school and on time on test days. Reschedule dentist appointments and other out-of-school time to non-testing days.
- Remind your student that these tests are only one measure of what he or she has learned. Emphasize that you have confidence in his or her ability to do the best job possible.
- Remind your student to listen to the directions and read each question carefully during testing. Encourage your student to ask the teacher for help if he or she does not understand the directions.
- Be positive and don't fret. You student will likely have some nervousness about the tests, but please be sure to encourage positivity and a "can do" attitude.
