It is STAAR testing season! Parents, if your child’s therapy appointment falls on a testing day, please call the office in advance to reschedule. If you aren’t sure when your child is testing, reach out to the school. They should have this information.

Students, if you get nervous about taking tests, use some strategies to reduce anxiety. Visualize yourself being successful. Make a plan for a successful day. You might even role play sitting down to take the test.

Be wise in how you study. Review the recent blog post about effective study sessions. Use the strategies your teachers have taught you. Make sure you read each question and answer choice carefully, and then select the best answer. If you aren’t sure, make your best guess!

Good luck to you on the STAAR!
