Share smart moves for before, during and after tests
The things your child does before, during and after tests can improve academic achievement. Before the test, have your child review frequently for short periods of time when feeling most alert. During the test, your child should read the directions carefully and save time to double-check work. When your child gets the test back, review it together and discuss strengths and weaknesses. Then, have your child save the test for future studying.

Challenge your child to find words inside words
Here's a fun way to build your child's language skills: Write down a word, then have your child use its letters to make new words. For example, from the letters in the word "tadpole," your child can write the words "tea" and "ate." You can do this with holiday or seasonal words, or pick a word that matches your child's interests. How many words can your student find in "watermelon" or "rhinoceros"?

Point out the positive results of effort
When it comes to achieving in school, intelligence propels students only so far. It takes hard work to get the rest of the way. Let your child know you place a high value on effort. Then, reinforce your message by showing your student how effort pays off. When your elementary schooler gets a high grade on a test, for example, say, "I know how hard you studied, and this is the result. I'm proud of you."

Help your child learn to work as part of a team
Leadership is a positive trait, but students also need to know how to work with others without taking over. To encourage fairness, take turns making some family decisions, such as what toppings to put on a pizza. Discuss the need to consider everyone's tastes. Promote fairness by setting rules such as "If one person chooses the game, the other gets the first turn." Offer praise when your child shows teamwork.

Get set for standardized tests
Standardized tests are a part of most students' school careers. Ask the teacher when your child will be taking a standardized test. Then, help your student prepare by reading, talking and playing word games together. When your child reads, boost comprehension skills by asking questions, such as "What was the main idea?" Above all, keep standardized tests in perspective. They are only one measure of your child's ability.
