Mrs. Jill Duggan Hurley Elementary 'We Are WILD About Learning' April 30 - May 4 ![]() EOG Testing Dates May 10, 2012 5th grade Math May 15 - 17, 3rd - 5th grade EOG Math and Reading EOG Test Taking Tips Listen carefully to spoken directions: It's ok to ask questions at this time if you are not sure what to do. Read through the written directions: Don't answer any problems until you are sure you understand the directions! Read the directions more than once, if necessary. Glance through the problems: Notice which ones may be more difficult than others. Use this information to plan your time. Read all the questions or problems: Do the easiest ones first. Then go back and do the harder ones. Don't spend a lot of time on one problem. If you get stuck, move on and come back to it if you have time. Read the entire question or problem: Skipping over words like "never" or "not" can lead to wrong answers. Look at any pictures: They may provide clues that will help you solve the problem. Go back and check answers: When you've answered all the questions, check you answers if you have time. We use reading every day: From traffic signs to recipes to e-mails, reading is a skill that's important to many everyday activities. We also use this skill to learn about what's going on in the world today. Reading is vital to communicate and staying informed and connected to the world around us. You can teach reading every day: Point out traffic signs on the way to school. Have your child pick out letters in the signs that are also in his or her name. Have your child pick out words he or she knows from food labels as you make dinner. These are just a few examples. Think about other ways that you can incorporate reading in your every day life. Good readers need 5 key skills. 1. Phonemic awareness: Hearing and using the sounds that make up spoken words. 2. Phonics: Seeing relationships between sounds, written letters and groups of letters. 3. Fluency: Recognizing and reading words out loud easily. 4. Vocabulary development: Learning new words. 5. Text comprehension: Learning ways to understand, remember and share what they've read. www.boyscouttrail.com/content/song/song-218.asp www.kididdles.com/lyrics/h020.html Disclaimer: Linkedsites are not under the control of the school district or its employees.
