It's crunch time folks.
We will be reviewing in EVERY class EVERY day. We started with main ideas and will keep going through details, comparison/contrast, fact/opinion, plot lines, poetry and figurative language, graphics, charts, sources, genres, author's purpose, etc. etc. etc.
This is a useful EOG Vocabulary sight to review with your child.

Also, these are 'released' tests from previous years. You could print these out and do them at home for practice. I would suggest doing 6th and 7th.
