How to Support Your Child
 The length of the test requires students to maintain attention
on reading for approximately two hours.
 Most children are not prepared to read for such an extended
length of time.
 Students need to build reading endurance and stamina.
 Encourage your child to read at home for a minimum of 30
minutes daily.
 Talk to your child about what they are reading to ensure they
are actively reading for meaning.
