ROK Cards

What are ROK Cards?

• • ROK stands for Ring Of Knowledge. The ROK cards are key terms/concepts that we have identified through Des Cartes for each of the four RIT band areas. Each card is numbered and is like flashcards with a definition and maybe an example or helpful detail. The ROK cards are an additional but important way for your child to cement the most important reading/literacy terms and concepts to memory. For some students, the understanding of the concept is not the problem; rather, the ability to remember the “definition” can be a challenge if it’s not a term that would naturally come up everyday (i.e., alliteration, tone, plot resolution, closed vowel, biography, etc.). The more terms must be learned well and applied often.
