    Test Taking Tips: Anchor Chart Ideas for the Classroom

    Anchor charts are a great way to use class time to go over helpful test-taking tips and then hanging them in the room to be referenced during practice. Students who practice test taking strategies early on may find that their stress and anxiety is decreased during the actual tests.

    Benefits of Anchor Charts in the Classroom

    There are many reasons, outside of being creative classroom decor, for teachers to invest time in the creation and use of anchor charts. Anchor charts serve as a great way to remind students of concepts and tips you’ve gone over in class.

      • Can be customized to reinforce specific classroom lessons/instruction
      • May be helpful as a classroom management tool, helping students to manage their own decisions/behavior
      • Especially supportive for visual learners
