So my daughter is in 4th grade and her WI FORWARD testing window starts in about three weeks. I'll be honest — I didn't really pay attention to this test last year and she ended up scoring in the basic range for math, which was kind of a wake-up call. This year I actually want to help her prepare properly instead of just hoping for the best.
I've been poking around online looking for a decent WI FORWARD practice test and most of what I find is either outdated or just a single worksheet. I did find a study guide that broke down the ELA standards by grade level which helped me understand what they're actually testing, but I'm not sure how much of the math she's already covered in class versus what might show up cold on the test.
We're doing about 20-30 minutes a night right now. Is that enough with three weeks to go, or should we be pushing harder on the weekends too? Especially curious from parents whose kids have moved from basic to proficient — what actually moved the needle for you?
