Ohio State Testing is here! Tuesday and Thursday of this week students will be in Ohio State Testing for ELA (English Language Arts).
Helping your child feel ready and confident for a test doesn’t have to be stressful! Make sure they get a good night’s sleep before test day, since rest helps them focus and have the energy they need. On test mornings, encourage a healthy breakfast—something simple like eggs, oatmeal, or fruit to help them stay sharp. Create a calm and positive atmosphere at home and remind your child that doing their best is what truly matters. This kind of support can make a big difference in how they feel about the test. If your child gets nervous about taking tests, try doing a practice test together to help them feel more comfortable. Here is a link for the practice test by grade level to help them be prepared.
Thank you for helping set them up for success!
We love to learn!
