IXL ELA: As you know, students have IXL accounts for math and part of their homework is to practice math skills weekly. On the same IXL website, students have access to ELA reading and writing skills as well. Although practicing that is not part of my regularly required homework, I strongly encourage students to practice at home.
Have students talk about the books that they are reading. Refer to the journal response packet that you received at the beginning of the year. Ask questions about: conflict, mood, theme, character traits, character change, connections they can make to real world experiences or connections to other texts they have read.
Discuss historical events and current events to build background knowledge.
Read over your child's work before they submit it. Offer guidance, but please do not be their editor for their entire paper.
