Hey, did you know?

• You can go to http://www.wordsmyth.net/ with your Vocabulary and find example sentences.
• We use Snappy Words and Thesaurus.com as classroom tools for vocabulary work. You can too.
• Every week’s Vocabulary title is the same as what they read in class on Monday. It is also another way to find the word list in Quizlet. I’m klynch192, then search the title (it's on top of the homework sentence page with the link.)
• TTQA means to turn the question around. Comprehension answers need to start off with TTQA. Your child's comprehension packet and journal has a list of sentence starters to help with the TTQA format.

Why do we reread the same passage three times every night?

To build fluency.
