Have you found any other strategies that work well for you and your classroom with regard to test anxiety? We’d love to hear from you!
I highly recommend the Mooloos Test Day program to elementary students for curbing test anxiety! Take a look at the website and sign up for a free trial period! The younger students in grades 2-3 complete interactive games, sing songs, watch videos, and complete tasks throughout the year such as planning 10-days ahead of any big test. The older students in grades 4-5 plan a big assembly for the younger students prior to end-of-year testing using Reader’s Theater, songs, and cants and cheers. http://greattesttaker.com
