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)
Questions • Please write your question on the note card provided. • We will post a Frequently Asked Questions document on the OP website FAQs for Reading, Math and Science http://www.ncpublicschools.org/accountability/testing/
