PREPARING YOUR STUDENT FOR THE READING EOG!

PREPARING YOUR STUDENT FOR THE READING EOG!

For the next SIX weeks make it a family goal to LIMIT or turn OFF the TV.

Read with your child! Nothing can replace an adult reading with a

child that can stop and explain a word or event in a story.

Provide a calm, structured reading time where your child can gain knowledge and confidence.

HOW CAN I HELP MY CHILD WITH READING COMPREHENSION IN THE NEXT SIX WEEKS?

You can help your child with vocabulary and inferencing skills.

These are two areas where students struggle the most.

I have given you question stems below to help facilitate discussion about a text.

VOCABULARY

Vocabulary includes unknown words, multiple-meaning words, antonyms, idioms, metaphors, and similes

See the hand out for question stems

 INFERENCING

Making an EDUCATED guess using what you know & what you read in the story! Being a good detective & using clues from the reading!

WHAT CAN I READ WITH MY CHILD?

Various states have released tests for passages: NC,TN, FL, CA, VA

Google: released tests and the state These samples will show you a good example

of text on your child’s grade level. Read a novel together Folktales, fables, myths and poetry Articles with visual text (charts, diagrams,

pictures)

READ ALOUD TO YOUR CHILD!MOMS AND DADS!!!
