Third Grade Reading Guarantee
On October 19th and 20th, the third grade will be completing the Ohio Third Grade Reading Guarantee. There are a few strategies you can use at home to ensure a great testing day. These include: a good nights rest, a well rounded breakfast and using words of encouragement.
Research shows:
- A good nights rest can improve concentration, memory and aid in increasing complex thinking skills.
- A well rounded breakfast can increase your child's energy levels as well as their focus.
- Using words of encouragement with your child will impact their inner monologue leading to empowerment as well as elicit positive emotions, directly boosting your child's work performance. Words of encouragement often sound like: "Do your best", "You've got this", "Focus on one question at a time" and/or "Don't give up".
Important Dates
Third Grade Testing: October 19th & 20th
Family Movie Night: October 21st
