  5. How can I help my student prepare for the EOG? • Read, read, read! – Push your child to read for longer amounts of time each night – the reading EOG is a test of endurance! • Incorporate fiction, nonfiction, and consumer (recipes, advertisements, brochures, ect.) texts. • Ask them comprehension questions after reading. • Begin reviewing math concepts learned in fourth grade NOW! – Have your student bring home their notebook and textbook to review those skills nightly. www.ixl.com • Sample test items can be found on the State’s education website: www.ncpublicschool.org

  6. Volunteers Needed • We are in need of volunteers to help proctor this year’s EOG tests. • The tests are May 23rd – 27th. • If you think you would be able to help out, or know someone who would like to volunteer, please let Nela Hawley know. She can be contacted here at school.
