IREAD 3 Info...
All third graders will take the IREAD 3 test next Monday/Tuesday afternoons in the computer lab. IREAD 3 reviews basic phonics skills, context clues, synonym/antonym, picking out prefixes/suffixes, and some basic reading comprehension. I plan to take the kids to the lab this Thursday to do a practice test. This will hopefully get them acclimated with testing on the computer vs a paper/pencil test.
Please do not schedule any appointments next Monday/Tuesday. Thanks!
