Sure, you've heard about it. You know about your state's student testing program. You've read about "accountability" and "standards" in the school bulletin and the newspaper. Maybe you have even been part of a heated discussion about test scores and school ratings at a PTA meeting. But what exactly does high-stakes testing mean for your child? This concise, practical guide gives you the answers you need to questions like:

• What exactly do my child's tests test?

• Where can I get more information on my state's testing program and how it affects my child's school?

• And, most importantly, how can I help my child succeed on these tests while experiencing as little stress as possible?

We'll show you how you can reduce your child's test anxiety, build confidence, and boost performance through a few simple -- even enjoyable -- activities and techniques you and your child can do together at home.
