teaching to the test!


Oh no - Test time is here again! Will we be highly effective teachers this year? Let's hope so.

This week before the test, make sure:

           - your students understand the format of the test

           - your students know some of the often repeated test phrases such as

           - to practice skimming texts for information

           - students understand the meaning of:  "significance," "except," "contribute" and  "contrast"

           - practice main idea/detail questions without a text
