Challenge of the Week

As you and your family talk about 2020 New Year’s resolutions, one idea might be to add “Strengthening the ability to make logical guesses” to your child’s list of resolutions! Here are some tips to discuss with them and help them when tackling multiple-choice-type questions.

Remind your child that for multiple-choice questions, they should slowly and carefully read through the question, then think through the answer.

Look to see if the answer they came up with on their own is listed as an option, and then choose it! If it’s not listed, then reread the question with even more focus.

Keep your eye out for the silly answers that can be mixed in to test if you’re paying attention.

Lastly, look through the answer options and simply choose the one that makes the most sense!

Try playing some guessing games at home to build good guessing stamina!
