What Can I Do To Help My Child? Take the Smarter Balanced Practice Test Together

Read Together

Reading, Language Arts: Talk to your child

Ask complex questions

Have your child explain their thinking

Mathematics: Ensure that your child can:

Subtract, Add, Multiply, Divide (according to their grade level)

Talk to your child about how you use Math

Encourage a Growth Mindset

Praise your child: for their effort in school (even when they fail).

when they take on and persist through challenges.

when they learn from criticism.

Encourage your child: to see that intelligence is grown with hard work.

to be more focused on the process of learning than the result of the final grade.

When students believe that they can get smarter through their hard work, they will improve faster and experience greater success than students who do not believe this.
