Testing season is here—and if you’re feeling the pressure, you’re not alone. In this episode, Teacher Maggie (a reading specialist and fellow dyslexic) shares heartfelt encouragement, practical test-taking strategies, and her own 4th grade testing story that still makes her laugh today.


Learn how to help your child feel confident with tools like “Dumbo’s feather,” master key strategies for multiple-choice questions and reading comprehension, and reframe the way we talk about standardized testing. Plus, a powerful reminder: tests are just data—not destiny.


This is the perfect listen for families walking through TCAP or any spring standardized test with a child who learns differently.
