It takes the students re-reading and inferring about what the author has asked to answer each question successfully. For example, “What conclusion can you draw from paragraph…..?” (depending on the skill of the week, questions may be similar or slightly different). Students can take home their reading book, workbook(this has skills, phonics, vocab., and language pages) and reading fluency(the questions on the back, especially the last one, make the students infer about the text, like our test). We hope this helps!!!!! Please place your car sign on the rear-view mirror of your vehicle with a coat hanger. Do not take it down until you are out of the parking lot. This helps with confusion in the carline and will hopefully speed things up! PTO dues are $5.00 per family. Please remember to sign your child’s assignment sheet EVERY night! Remember to read every day!! http://www.hartselletigers.org/feb
