**FCAT TIPS at Home** 

• Create a special place for you and your child to read together.

• Read to your child and listen to your child read for 30 minutes.

• Talk about what you have read.  Encourage your child to make predictions, give opinions, thoughts, ideas, connections, and questions about what you have read.

• Read a book that is also a movie.  Watch the movie after reading the book and then ask your child:  What was different?  What was the same?  Practice an important FCAT skill called "Compare and Contrast."

• Emphasize how rewards and dreams come true as a result of good behavior and dedicated study.

Be sure to do the 5 finger check
when you are looking for a book!

We are a Sunlink School!
