Since kids will have lots of time on their hands, winter break is a great time to have your students do some extra review in Skills Tutor. In all subject categories except Reading Comprehension LL, A, B and C and Reading Vocabulary A, B and C the pretests are prescriptive. In other words, if you give the pretest, the program will determine where your students need extra work and will assign lessons to address the gaps in mastery. If your kids are going to have semester tests when they get back from break, this could be a great way for them to sharpen their skills.
You might also want to point out to them that they can take practice quizzes in Assessment Center. These quizzes can give them an idea of how they are doing in their quest to master these skills.
Don't forget Skills Iowa over the holidays. Your students can learn a lot on their break.
