6th grade did not meet their full potential on the pop reading quiz today. Most students said that they either didn't read or didn't understand the reading. Parents, you can help with this! Encourage your child to read their homework aloud to you dramatically. This will help them to retain the information. Other ideas:
-have your child summarize each paragraph after they've finished reading it
-make your child feel comfortable asking questions, particularly about vocabulary
-have your child isolate specifically what word or phrase he/she doesn't understand
-have your child take notes on the chapter
-have your child read it twice, once for understanding (pronouncing all the words correctly) and once for solidifying the information (remembering the content of the passage)
None of these things should take longer than 30 minutes, but all of them will be very valuable to your child. He/she should also feel free to come see me in tutoring if he/she needs any extra reading help. I'm also available by appointment.
Yours in comprehension,
Miss Fischer
Can you do tutoring tomorrow sine the reading was kind of confusing. I didn't get it.
ReplyDeleteI am available for quick questions before class every day (6B or 6A) and during lunch (6A). I am also available for tutoring by appointment. My official tutoring time (for lengthier questions) is Tuesdays before class. Let me know if you need anything else. :)
