Tips
• Reading and writing stamina is essential for success
– Most kids make mistakes on last passage
• Reading level correlates with grade
– 4th: Grade level is S/T
– 5th: Grade level is U
• Short response questions are weighed more heavily
than extended response
– Common problems with short response
• Close reading
• Deconstructing questions (math and ELA)
INDEPENDENCE
• Work on problem-solving in life and in work
• Persevere through problems independently
