Assessing students is important because it helps teachers understand what children are learning and where they might need extra help. Regular assessments, like tests and quizzes, show how well students are doing and guide teachers in planning their lessons. Parents can help by making sure their child gets a good night's sleep before a test, eats a healthy breakfast, and has a quiet place to study at home. Encouraging and praising their efforts can also boost their confidence and performance.
