3 Grade Isat Test

How Can My Child Prepare For The 3rd Grade ISAT Test?

The 3rd grade ISAT test is given to students in Illinois in reading, math and writing. Third grade is the first year that Illinois students take a state standardized test, which means your child's teacher will probably devote a lot of time to in-class preparation. Since the questions on the ISAT are based on third grade curriculum standards, your child will be well prepared for the test if he or she keeps up with his or her school work.

Your child can also do some enrichment activities at home to prepare for the ISAT. Encourage him or her to read frequently. Ask him or her questions about the books he or she is reading and discuss them during family time. Reading frequently will improve your child's reading fluency and the discussions will improve his or her comprehension. For tips on discussing literature with your child, read 'Appropriate Reading Discussions for Children'.

Your child can prepare for the writing test by keeping a journal and writing every day. He or she doesn't need to write detailed entries; five or six sentences a day will do. Practice math with your child by incorporating math into everyday activities. For example, if you're buying bagels for a meal and are planning two bagels per person for five people, let your child use multiplication to figure out how many bagels are needed. These little activities will strengthen his or her math and problem solving skills.
