GRADE 6 and 7 EQAO/Reading Comprehension Practice
As you all know, EQAO is coming up fast! On May 25th, 2016 students in grade 6 will begin writing their assessment. Grade 6 students will be writing for a 3 day period and will have extra time/days to write the test if they happen to be away on one of the writing days. Thank you to those parents who have already informed the office/me about any scheduling conflicts that you might have with EQAO.
In order to make grade 6 students comfortable with what the test will be like, I will be assigning homework over the next 3 weeks that is EQAO specific. Tonight I am assigning 1 reading package including 5 multiple choice questions and 2 short answer questions. We will be taking up the answers to the package tomorrow using EQAO approved exemplars to help guide student learning.

The link above will take students to the comprehension/EQAO practice I would like them to complete. I only want them to complete reading package part C for tonight. It is entitled "Iceberg Wranglers".
The link below is a link where you (as a student) or parents/guardians can access previous EQAO packages to practice. I would highly recommend that students use these exemplars to help prepare themselves for the upcoming test.

Grade 7 students are expected to complete the reading comprehension package tonight as well. As I explained, this is good practice and great exposure to EQAO formatting that they will have to all deal with in grade 9.
