Helpful Tips for Responding to a Reading Passage
1. We have to put a lot of effort into "showing" our readers what we mean in our writing... Apply those principles to your short and extended responses, just like you do in your essays.
Parents, you can help by checking your student's homework each night. When they have to answer a question, did they provide details from their text to support their answer?
2. Read your questions before reading the passage. It might seem to take up valuable time, but it will make marking the passage easier and more purposeful.
Parents, can your student(s) point out where they got their answer from in the text?
3. Never leave a blank answer! If you are running short on time, an educated guess is better than a blank answer.
