Beginning this Friday, the reading tests will change slightly. Instead of students having to answer two written response questions, students will now have to answer one written response question but include many more details. We have been practicing writing paragraphs for a few months now so the kids are very familiar with writing longer pieces. The students know to begin with a topic sentence, then include 3-5 detail sentences and end with a conclusion sentence (aka "Make your teacher smile" sentence). Today you will receive a typed example as well as an example from class today of what will be expected on reading tests. We will continue to practice this at school and I will give one for homework this week so you can practice with your child at home.
