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 TV and screen time.

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. Each grade level will provide question stems

to help facilitate discussion about a text.

VOCABULARY

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

Context Clues Anchor Chart

 

INFERENCING

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

Great Texts to use to help teach inferencing skills Graphic Novels Cartoons Sunday paper

WHAT CAN I READ WITH MY CHILD?

FREE RESOURCES

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) More resources are available on Amanda
