When you take the tests the computer asks you questions about the book. After you are done, it tells you what you made. You can view your goals and comprehension level.

A letter is coming home tomorrow for grades 2-6!

1. Encourage your child to read at home, in the car, before bed.

2. Read with your child, start a home library, visit the Public Library, or bookstore often.

3. Let your child see you reading and discuss books you have read together.

Reading with your child, no matter what their age, is a way to develop a good reader. It builds a

lifelong love of reading and learning.

How can I help my child become a better reader?
