How Can I Help My Child Do Well On Tests?

Here are a few suggestions for parents who want to help their children do well on tests.
• First and most important, talk to your child's teacher often to monitor your child's progress and find out what activities you can do at home to help your child.
• Make sure your child does his or her homework.
• Make sure your child is well-rested and eats a well-rounded diet.
• Have a variety of books and magazines at home to encourage your child's curiosity.
