Helping Your Child Prepare For Georgia Milestones

It’s that time of the year again! Georgia Milestones are fast approaching. As a parent, there are several things you can do to help your child prepare for the Georgia Milestones:

  • Understand the test format and content: It’s important to familiarize yourself with the format and content of the Georgia Milestones test. This will help you understand what your child will be tested on and how the test is structured. You can find more information about the test on the Georgia Department of Education website.
  • Create a study plan: Develop a study plan for your child that includes reviewing key concepts, practicing test-taking strategies, and taking practice tests. 
  • Encourage regular practice: Encourage your child to practice the material regularly, using practice tests, review books, or online resources like GeorgiaTestPrep.com.
  • Practice test-taking strategies: Teach your child effective test-taking strategies such as time management, reading and understanding instructions carefully, eliminating obviously wrong answers, and using the process of elimination to arrive at the correct answer.
  • Provide a supportive learning environment: Create a supportive environment at home that encourages learning and academic success. This includes providing quiet study space, limiting distractions, and offering encouragement and positive feedback.
  • Communicate with teachers: Talk to your child’s teacher to get a better understanding of how your child is progressing in class and what areas they may need extra help with. Teachers can also provide tips for studying and test-taking.
  • Encourage a growth mindset: Emphasize the importance of effort, perseverance, and resilience. Encourage your child to view mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow.
  • Emphasize the importance of rest: Make sure your child gets enough rest and sleep leading up to the test. A well-rested student is more likely to perform well on the test.
  • Stay positive and motivated: Encourage your child to stay positive and motivated throughout the preparation process. Celebrate their successes and offer support and encouragement when they face challenges.

Remember, the Georgia Milestones is just one measure of your child’s academic progress. Encourage your child to do their best, but also emphasize the importance of learning for its own sake, rather than just for the purpose of passing a test.

What is the story behind Georgia Test Prep?

Being parents of young children it was evident that our work was cut out for us in order to support our children’s learning journey. We knew that the teachers at school were doing a great job in teaching them the Georgia standards. But just like anything else, without repetition of the material they could not retain a lot of what they had just learnt. In order to help them we had to search for the relevant worksheets online, print them, and ask our kids to complete them. Checking their work was yet another cumbersome task. And once they completed the practice sheets, we had to look for other worksheets. This was becoming tiresome and redundant. 

We purchased some books from a local store and also bought some online. It was hard to find out which ones were relevant to the subject material taught at school and which ones would mimic how their testing was going to look like. We realized that we spent a lot of money on the books for each child and were still not convinced that it was the best we could provide them with. 

That put us on a journey to find websites that would allow for them to practice online without the hassle of printing sheets and correcting them but pretty quickly we realized that was a very costly option. 

This is where Georgia Test Prep was born! We figured that there are a lot of parents in a similar situation like ours who are also struggling to impart the right education to their children. We reached out to some of the parents around us who had kids in Elementary & Middle school and talked to them and concluded that creating an online platform that can address such issues would help parents provide a strong foundation to their children.

What makes Georgia Test Prep a good solution for parents?

Georgia Test Prep is a comprehensive web app that helps students practice answering ELA & Math questions that are aligned with the standards taught in school. With less than 10 cents per day, the members get access to thousands of questions for ELA and Math practice online.

This web app bridges the gap between the classroom and at-home learning. Parents can assign the homework to their children and once the student completes it, online assessment helps parents know about the performance of their child. This saves parents hours and hours of time that they were spending on checking worksheets. This web app motivates the students to work without any assistance from a parent or a teacher.  It also makes the students more confident as they get a better grip of Math and ELA. 

With a lot of schools operating online virtual classes due to the COVID-19 outbreak, there is a need for online assessment tools that helps parents understand gaps in their child’s knowledge and areas of improvement and help fill it.  And that is what we are here for!!!
