1) In the tips for reading section (page 3), explain what three strategies you feel are your strongest.
2) What three reading strategies do you feel you should try to improve upon the most between now and the test?
3) Repeat instructions 1) and 2) for the writing tips on page 4.
4) Read page 5. What information do you find to be helpful or interesting?
5) Finally, what questions do you have about the literacy test (the OSSLT) that Mr. Pierce may be able to answer for you?
1) I think the best stratagies for me are: To manage my time to complete all sections of the test, read and reread all questions carefully, and to underline or highlight important information and ideas as you read. I think these are the stratagies I'm strongest at because I use all of them regularly.

2) I think that the three reading stratagies i need to improove are:  look for links between what you're reading and experiences you've had before, keeping my awnsers within the six lines provided, and if a long sentence confuses you reread it carefuly and put it in your own words. I rarely do any of these three things.

3) Developing a main idea with suffecient supporting ideas. Organizing information and ideas in a coherent manner.

4) I find the information on if I don't pass the OSSLT  helpful because after reading it I now know that if I don't pass, I can try it again next year.

5) I don't really have any questions about it.
