Dillon shared with me that he wasn’t feeling very confident today. He is getting very nervous about the FSA. I reassured him that he would do fine as long as he used his test-taking strategies and remained calm. He did part of a practice FSA in our session that covered retelling, describing characters, demonstrating understanding of text, and determining word meanings. He worked carefully through the passages,used his test-taking strategies, and did a wonderful job. Dillon needs reassurance that he is capable of doing well. He needs to have a positive mindset when he tackles this high stakes exam! Wishing him a restful break!
