Students need to read five days a week for 25 minutes. One way parents
may help with reading comprehension is to ask your child questions about
their nightly reading. For example:
* Describe the main character.
* Summarize tonight's reading.
* Do you agree with the actions of the main character?
* What do you think is going to happen next in the story?
* What connections did you make with the reading?
* Did you learn any new vocabulary?
* What would you change if you were the author?
Also students need to spend time studying their spelling words and
vocabulary. Our spelling tests are biweekly consisting of two parts. The
first section is the oral administration of the current spelling words.
The second part of the exam will require students to apply past & present
spelling rules.
