MATH AND READING PRACTICING SKILLS

​Here is a list of a few sites to use for skill practice. These are also useful for MAP test practice.
Most are organized by RIT and/or a focus skill.  Find your child's RIT score on the latest MAP Score and use that RIT score as a base to have your child practice these skills. If you do not know your child's MAP score, please email your teacher to find out.
