What are the best ways for my child to study for the STAR assessment?

Starting early is the best way to prep for the STAR test. Early preparation gives your child more time to focus on building skills in the core concepts, especially reading and math. For reading, encourage them to read various materials—books, magazines, newspapers, online articles—to build up their vocabulary and comprehension. In math, brush up on formulas and problem-solving strategies. Get your hands on practice tests that your child can work on repeatedly until they gain confidence and become familiar with the content and structure of the test. In terms of time management, break down study time into smaller, more manageable chunks so they don’t get overwhelmed and stressed.
