Hi Families!

As a reminder, we will begin our reading NWEA test this coming Monday and Tuesday. I found a few practice sites you and your child can use at home to help prepare them for this test. These sites can be used throughout the year for extra practice too, not just for NWEA.

I wanted to post a few extra practice sites for you and your child to explore that helps prep them for the NWEA (or any online) test. These are online and are in the format of games. The kids have already played them in the computer lab with Mr. Donelson and LOVED them! They had a blast!

There are two sites, one for math and one for reading. When you click on the link, they will look similar. You will be asked to choose a RIT score for your child. For reading, EVERYONE will need to pick the first option – Below 181 for Informational and Literature, and Below 171 for Foundational Skills and Vocabulary. For math, everyone should start at the first choice (below 161 or below 171). Some students may say those questions are too easy, so you can move them to the next range to give them more challenging questions. If your child is struggling with the first group of questions, please do not try to push them onto the second set of questions.
