Offer Your Child Tips for Matching Tests

Elementary school tests often contain a matching section—questions that ask students to match a word with a definition, or a person with an event, for example. To help your child do well on this type of question, talk about how to approach them. Encourage your child to:

1. Read all the directions carefully.
2. Notice whether one column is longer than the other. If so, some answers may not get used. Others may be used twice.
3. Match the easiest items first.
4. Put a check by the answers that have already been used.
