After reading a text students are asked to answer a series of questions by selecting from a multiple choice list. Rather than letting your child do this exercise alone consider sitting with them and asking them what their thinking was behind their choice of answers, be they right or wrong. By doing this you can gain insight into how they engage with texts. Are they guessing answers? Do they actually read the question properly? What sort of questions do they have most difficulties answering, factual or inferential? |
