Extension Activities for Students at Home- ELA

Several parents have asked for resources for their students to use at home to aid in comprehension and strengthening reading skills. Hopefully, the websites we have provided will give you a good place to get started working with your child at home.


The first we would recommend is newsela.com.  You can go to the site and register as a parent. There are child appropriate articles to read, with questions, that are updated daily. One great way to use this resource is to have several people in the family read the article, and then take time at dinner or in the car to discuss the article together.


The second recommendation would be to check out http://www.readworks.org. This website, also a free resource, can be used to find articles to read with your child. The articles also have questions and answer guides that you can go over with your child.

One of the best ways to improve comprehension is to improve your vocabulary. At THIS SITE your child can practice by playing root word games on many grade levels.
