READING


Here's is the agenda we followed today:


Click on this link to take the informal reading inventory:


http://webschool.wash.k12.ut.us/reading/inventory/inventory1.html

• You will have eight minutes to answer as many questions as you can correctly.
• I will use your score as a dipstick check to see where you are right now.  I will use the same check in week nine to see how much you've grown as a reader.
• Flag me down when you're ready to show me your score, and I'll come over and record it.

Now click on the link below:

• Create an account by clicking on the tab "Students Sign Up Free".
• Under "Choose your test", check the "ACT" option.
• Follow the directions to take the quiz, and the site will level your vocabulary.  Once you have your level, bring it back and show it to me.  Then you can explore the site and play games, take more quizzes, or study your word list.
