What Is Going On?
We started the GRADE testing today. It will continue through the rest of the week. The GRADE test is broken into listening comprehension, word reading, sentence comprehension, word meaning, and passage comprehension. In order to better prepare for the tests, we will not be having spelling words this week.
The best way to prepare would be to get a good night’s sleep and have a healthy breakfast. Other ways to prepare: Ask questions about what your child has read (who, what, when, where, why, and how questions). Have your child read for at least 20 minutes nightly. This will increase your child’s fluency. It will also help your child with the GRADE assessment in that it requires independent reading.
