Middle of the year reading timed testing:
We will be doing middle of the year reading testing this week. I highly encourage your child to read the passage pages and complete the comprehension activity daily if possible 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.
Just a reminder about our reading preparation for middle of year testing. You’ll see below links to print reading passages for your students to practice. We begin testing the week we return from Winter Break. Please have your student practice these passages and complete the activities over the Winter Break so they can be better prepared for their testing session. It is very difficult without daily reading to achieve reaching the middle of the year required benchmark.
- Students should read this passage three times each day Monday – Thursday.
- This counts towards the recommended 20 minutes of reading each day.
- This is suggested reading homework, but is not required.
- Parents may sign the worksheet and return it to school on Fridays. Students who completed and return their homework will be entered into a weekly drawing.

Optional: for extra math practice, play any of these Math Fact Activities 2018
2- Reading 20 minutes per day. No need to submit minutes, but we strongly encourage you to make reading a priority. Reading comprehension strategy: Help your child read a story and then retell the events from the story in the correct order while they are focusing on the characters, setting, and events. As well as, making and confirming predictions.
This is what we will be working on in Language Arts:
