What Can Parents do to Help?
Students should be reading a variety of genres every day! The STAAR test is rigorous, and requires a tremendous amount of stamina. Encourage your child to read every day, and ask them a variety of questions about what they are reading. Always ask them to provide text evidence to support their answer.
