How can my child succeed?Students must:
Take notesParticipate in small & whole class
discussions&
READ THE BOOK
How to Read a TextCarefully—paying attention—not while listening to music with lyrics, watching TV, or using social mediaClosely—annotating—making notes about words, themes, symbols, and questions while reading
This process cannot be rushed or accomplished in one sitting. Fun fact: Professional publishing acquisition editors take 5 hours to read a book—so your child requires more time.
Writing Means Rewriting
• Clear meaning• Concise wording• Specific/precise words
• High register• Correct punctuation and grammar
We focus on banishing:• word vomit• illogical wording or statements• preposition misuse
