PREPARING YOUR STUDENT
THE READING EOG!
FOR
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.
