As you may know, each week we take a reading comprehension test. Their score on this test is their reading grade on their report card. There actual reading level (I,J,K) is not a factor. In class we have been learning different test taking strategies that will help them not only with these tests, but with all tests the rest of their lives! I have attached this file for you on the right side of my blog. Please go over these with your child as you discuss their grade each Wednesday night. They should know what you mean if you say things such as: Did you find and underling proof? Use snake fingers? Scramble and number your eggs? Cross off ridiculous and wrong? Match the vowel sound? See the odd man out?
As a reminder EVERY READING NEEDS TO BE SIGNED AND RETURNED BY FRIDAY. THANK YOU!
Also, progress reports and scholarship warnings will be sent home early this week. They are due back on Friday. There has been a change in the grades this year. Language Arts and Spelling are now ONE GRADE!! The weekly quizzes over L.A. skills and Spelling tests are now combined.
Their Reading Grade is only based off of the 2 reading tests so far. Therefore, do not panic if they did not do as well as they liked on one and they have a low grade. We will have many other tests and there is still time to increase their grade.
Let's have another great week! We have the Book Fair to go to and we're beginning to write our first Narrative. Check our Newsletter for our scheduled times and other upcoming events in the class.
Woohoo 2nd Grade!
