What can I do to help my child?

Read with your child and ask questions about what they are 
reading. Ask them 
to summarize what they've read, have them predict what will 
happen 
next,describe the characters and setting,make connections to 
something else 
they've read or experienced, etc...This will give you quality 
time with your 
child and help them become active readers.

What if my child is absent for the Spelling pretest?

The child should then write each Spelling word 2 times. This will 
take the 
place of the actual pretest.
