&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Making sure your child is present and on time for school on each day of testing; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;Making sure if your child wears &lt;strong&gt;reading glasses,&lt;/strong&gt; that they are &lt;strong&gt;in school on all testing days;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;Getting your child a &lt;strong&gt;good night’s rest&lt;/strong&gt; each night before a test; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Setting high expectations for your child&lt;/strong&gt;, so that your child knows that you think the tests are important;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;Encouraging your child to &lt;strong&gt;work for the full time allowed on each test;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;Letting your child know that there is no reason to be anxious or scared; you will be proud, as long as the &lt;strong&gt;results represent his or her best effort&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
