In Preparation for the Maryland High School Assessment, PSAT, and SAT
DIRECTIONS:
The enclosed activities are to be completed by your child during the Winter Break and he/she is encouraged to return it to his/her Reading/English Language Arts teacher upon return to school. Parents are encouraged to assist in the following ways: Make a plan to complete the activities throughout the Winter Break. o Write the question numbers and pages to be completed on your home calendar. o Schedule times that fit your family’s schedule to complete the assignments and write the proposed times on the calendar dates also. (Of course, these times may need adjustment, but having a plan is the first step to success.) Provide a quiet space and time for your child to work on the homework. Encourage the daily reading of 30 minutes of a self-selected book. Sign the assignment checklist.
Feel free to write a comment to your child’s Reading/English Language Arts teacher here:
