Homework During NECAP Testing

There will be no written homework during NECAP testing; however, this is a perfect opportunity to catch up on independent reading! See links for Teen Book Awards on the lower right side of this blog.

Remember - if you're struggling to find a good book, I can help! Just ask.

Research shows that INDEPENDENT READING...

- builds your fluency
- leads to increased vocabulary development
- builds background knowledge, or schema
- improves your communication skills
- increases your ability to comprehend increasingly complex material...

...and the list goes on and on!
