Do I have to pass LEAP for the 2009-10 school year?

An 8th grade student MUST score BASIC in at least ONE area (math 
OR ELA (reading/English). Of course, the 
option of retaking the test in summer LEAP is available for those 
students 
who score less than basic in ONE area. Keep working on your 
skills in all areas.

What is the easiest way to improve my READING/ENGLISH scores?

Turn off the television set/ video games and READ, READ, READ.
Do your personal best in all school related assignments; most are 
planned to 
reinforce daily instruction. Ask questions; seek help when you 
need it.
