Killebrew Homeroom Announcement

Dear Parent,

Each Monday your child will have an opportunity to take a pretest for spelling and reading. The spelling test will test all 25 words for the next reading story. The reading test will test comprehension for the next story and test the vocabulary for that story. If your child makes a 93 or higher, they will be allowed to keep that grade for all reading assignments that will be given that week. Instead of working on the regular assignments, these students will be given extension activities that are designed to push students farther and deeper. These assignments will be completed during that week. If the student scores below a 93, they will continue with regular classroom assignments for that week. They can try again to take the pretest the next week.
Please let me know if you have questions are concerns.
