I try my best to create an environment that is distraction and stress-free when students are taking a test. Students are given folders to put up for privacy. I always go over directions for tests with the students.
I will orally read English, Spelling, and Math tests to the class. For Reading tests, your child’s reading ability is being assessed and therefore I do not read those exams to the class.
The students are always given extra time, if needed, to complete tests. In many cases, students are able to use resources (reading book, number grid) and manipulatives (counters, coins, etc.) to assist them in completing the exams.
