Description

Give Anxious Kids Strategies for Test-Taking Bertha Billingsworth (BB for short) is basically a happy person...until she has to take a test. To her, the word test stands for T errible E very S ingle T ime, because that's how she does on them...TERRIBLE! "Whenever I see or hear the word test... The hair on the back of my neck stands up. My face turns as red as a beet. I start to sweat, my stomach aches, and I can't control my feet! What if I get every answer wrong? And I don't get any right. I just know I'll get a bad grade on this test, so I don't even want to try!" BB's teacher comes to the rescue by inviting her to become a member of the Anti-Test Anxiety Society. She tells BB that TEST stands for T hink E ach S ituation T hrough! She also ends up teaching BB the Dynamic Dozen (12 amazing test taking strategies), and convinces her to use her "GET TO" brain instead of her "HAVE TO" brain . Now when BB takes a test, she is calm and focused and thanks to her teacher, the Terrible now stands for Terrific!
