Remember, there are extra credit assignments you can do with your vocabulary words every week. They are due the day before the test.
Below are a few language arts reminders and tips for helping your student.
-We have a vocabulary test every Friday. Begin studying on Monday night. Review 10-15 minutes each night. This makes Thursday nights less painful and Friday test time easier.
-If you click on "Flashcards" under my name when you open this page, you will find review cards for the week's vocabulary words. Students have been taken to the computer lab and shown how to use these to study for the test.
-Students do have an extra credit sheet they may use with their vocabulary words. They may receive up to a maximum of 10 extra credit points on the vocabulary test each week. This can help if vocabulary, grammar, reading, or writing is a particular weakness. Since this is a test grade which counts 50% of their average, it can add up over the nine weeks. It's also a great way to review those vocabulary words during the week. Extra credit must be turned in by Thursday.
-If your child has difficulty with reading, try one of the following:
1. Read together. Listen to your child read. Let your child hear you read. Take turns reading a page or a chapter.
2. Let your child read something from a magazine or newspaper. Let him/her chose the article/comic strip/movie review/etc. Then (after you read it, too) have him/her tell you about it. Ask a few questions.
