Below is a list of practice questions to use when reading with your child each night. For the most benefit, please write the questions in the spiral notebook in your child’s binder for them to read independently and practice writing out a written answer using complete sentences. Sample questions reflect the end of year testing questions your child will see using the Reading 3D program. Thank You!
