NECAP: DAY TWO

We'll take a quick break from assessing the Storybirds for today to focus specifically on how to nail the NECAP reading test.

Best way to attack the reading test:

  1. Read the questions first...especially the long-response questions!
  2. Highlight/underline/circle information from the passage that can answer the questions...and quotes you can use for your long-response!
  3. Set up your paragraph
    • topic sentences
    • body that has specific information and PQE
    • concluding sentence
  4. Reread the long-response question while you write to make sure you don't ramble.
Fill the BOX!
