How to Help Your Child Prepare for a Test in History
Here's what you can do to help prepare your child prepare for tests.
Every night, check with him/her to see if he/she gets new notes. If
so, have him/her read them over and quiz him/her lightly about them.
That way he/she will be familiar as to where they are when I review
them the next day. Then he/she can highlight what I review, because
that is what will most likely be on the exams. Then ask him/her
questions frontward and backwards about each highlighted
statement. (If the sentence is "Columbus discovered America.", ask
her "Who discovered America?" and "What did Columbus
discover?".) Then do this the night before an exam. Some kids do
well with flashcards also.
