razorbackmama Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (First of all, a plug - all 3 of my kids doing JAG/AG are loving it! Me too!) My dd is doing JAG. She bombed a test today. The TM says to only have the child go on to the next unit if they get at least a 70% on the test. Well, dd didn't. So now what do I do?:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siloam Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) (First of all, a plug - all 3 of my kids doing JAG/AG are loving it! Me too!) My dd is doing JAG. She bombed a test today. The TM says to only have the child go on to the next unit if they get at least a 70% on the test. Well, dd didn't. So now what do I do?:confused: I go back and redo the unit before and then the two units that were a problem. Though sometimes I will still go ahead some. For example Pumpkin is not totally getting adverbs and the sentence type 1 and 2. She isn't bombing the tests yet but she obviously has holes. I am going to have her finish the last two units then we will come back and re-do everything from Adverbs on. I think sometimes having a bigger picture (going a bit forward) helps, it also puts more distance between when they last covered a unit and covering it again, so less chance of them remembering how they did it the first time and doing it from memory. BTW I already had her repeat the units up to adverbs, because again she was doing OK, but every unit her scores were going down a a little. Re-doing them she did really well on all of them.

nukeswife Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I know I had asked in the past about extra practice and Erin suggested I use the units worksheets as a model and just change the sentences a bit. For example if the sentence was... "Bobby, the boy who lives across the street, has a new puppy" On your new "worksheet" you could make the sentence read... "Cindy, the girl who lives up the road, wants a new kitten" You keep the basics but change it up a bit so it's not a complete repeat. This way they get extra practice, but wouldn't cause them to think they are doing it all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
