Helpful Sites for MAP Rit Enhancement

Good Evening Parents,
Thank you to all who came to report card pick up.  I enjoyed meeting with all of you. The support that you provide to your child is the key to their success.  I appreciate your effort and dedication.  
Per our meetings...Attached you will find a list of some websites that you can use at home to enhance reading and math skills through games and activities.  You can select activities according to MAP Rit scores as indicated on the sheets I gave out during conferences.  
Your student can play games nightly and focus their learning according to their individual levels.  Use the sites as you see fit.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Good Night,
Fitz Crame

Here are some activities to help understand author’s purpose.
