FIRST COLD READ:
On Thursday, we will have our first COLD READ. I will read all of the questions and have students highlight key words in the questions. Then, I will read the story aloud. Students will then be expected to go back in the story and look for text evidence as they answer each question.
Remind your child that we simply want them to do their best!
