This is a class for 3rd graders who want to prepare for the ITBS reading test.
This course will build up the solid fundation for the reading and vocabulary skills by using comprehensive reading and vocabulary level 3A and 3B along the year. Students will also learn the test strategies and sharpen the test skills by engaging in practice tests from multiple leading resources in class or out class as homework.
Students in 3rd-6th grade who score in the 99 percentile in ITBS/OSA Reading, together with a 97% in either the ITBS/OSAS Math or CogAt test, will qualify for the SUMMA program in Middle School. For additional information on the SUMMA program at BSD schools, please check this link: https://www.beaverton.k12.or.us/departments/teaching-learning/student-programs/talented-and-gifted
You may check your child's performance via the online practice test reports which will be done along with this class in your Sunshine account via the link "Assessment Tests".
All class material will be provided in PDF file via the class page, plus our online tests with instant grading and reports.
