This is the first time 1st graders were given a computer test that wasn't read to them. It is also only 35 questions and it is timed. Does anyone have any experience with this test or how to prep students for it? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Give the students weekly assignments on the computer to familiarize them with using a computer. Also, encourage the parents allow the students to work on the computer or laptop if permissible.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Yes this is a great solution to do all that you can to prep these students. Easy to implement sending worksheets home and familiarizing them with computers.

This strategy is beneficial for testing, but also teaching students how to use a very important piece of technology they will be using for the rest of their lives.
