January Response To Literature; McCall Crabbs Standardized Test Lessons in Reading. Students should be completing 1 passage per night for homework. They turn their folder in every Friday. These passages are designed to increase comprehension skills and develop inference skills therefore, students will develop the ability to re-read for clarification and concentrate on skimming the passage with attention given to locating the information from the beginning, middle or end. This practice will benefit them greatly when taking the CRCT.
