Optional Review 12/16-12/20

**Please let me stress that this is optional practice for your student, not required.  We do ask for students to read 20+ minutes every day to develop their love for reading.  

Middle of the year reading timed testing: 
We will be doing middle of the year reading testing the day after we return from Winter Break.  I highly encourage your child to read the passage pages and complete the comprehension activity daily if possible during the break so that they will be able to reach their benchmark goals during testing, timing your child for 1 minute and asking them to provide as much retell back to you about what the story is about. A packet will be sent home with each of the students and they will get to go to the prize box when they return their completed passages after the Winter Break. :o)
