Homework:
In preparation for the ACT Aspire tests next week, I have created student accounts on two websites that students will access at home or in Aftercare.
www.readtheory.org
www.ixl.com
Your child is bringing home a letter with their log-in information.
This will provide exposure to various types of questions and also will provide data for how they are doing with those questions. Their homework is a practice log. It is on the back of the IXL letter you will receive. It looks like this:

Students will work on Read Theory for at least 20 minutes and IXL for at least 20 minutes daily. On IXL, you can choose concepts you want them to work on as well, but they can choose different ones to work on. They must get their log signed and brought back each day. Each student is allotted one "pass" day in case there are circumstances where the work could not be done the previous night. As I told the kids, in every job there is "crunch time" where you have to buckle down and challenge yourself more; this week is crunch time. I do not want the students to practice Sunday so they can have a breather before next week starts.
