How can students prepare for the assessment?

It would be beneficial to let students know ahead of time that they will participate in reading and writing during the assessment. Students will feel happier and more relaxed once they know what to anticipate. You may let the students know that the assessment activities will be much like what they do in their everyday work (e.g., reading a story, information texts, poetry, and writing a letter and a story). Teachers’ positive comments about the assessment will encourage students to do their best.
