This Test Taking Strategy Song for Reading Comprehension teaches students what to do as they are taking a standardized reading comprehension test using the TRAP N RAP IT Reading Comprehension Strategy.

Trap “N” Rap
and Rap “N” Trap
It’s time to Trap “N” Rap it.

The title we must underline.
It’s an important clue.
The title we must underline.
It helps us construe
the meaning of the reading
and the author’s view.
Read the questions next.
Find out what they’ll ask.
Know what to look for.
Understand the task.
Are there questions we can answer
before we read.
Then go ahead and do it
if more reading we don’t need.

Trap “N” Rap
and Rap “N” Trap
It’s time to Trap “N” Rap it.

We predict what we think
the reading is about.
We’re aggressive readers.
We try to find out
the message of the author
until there is no doubt.
We number the paragraphs
each and every one.
This helps us
when we’re close to being done.
Confirming our answers
but we have just begun.
Because now it is time
for us to read.
Now it is time
for us to deal.
Now it’s time for
us to reveal
all that we have learned.

Trap “N” Rap
and Rap “N” Trap
It’s time to Trap “N” Rap it.

As we read
important terms we underline.
We think about their meaning
deep within our minds.
Now as we read
does the reading tell
an answer to the question?
Does it ring a bell?
If yes, stop right there.
Note the paragraph number.
Go answer the question.
Return back to the number
and continue to read on.
Finally, the questions will be answered
at this time in space
The questions will be answered
right here in this place.
So, before we finish this whole song
we better eliminate
all the answers that are wrong.

We choose the answer
that is the best.
We choose the best answer
to ace this test.
We choose the answer
that is the best.
We choose the best answer
to ace this test.

Trap “N” Rap
and Rap “N” Trap
It’s time to Trap “N” Rap it.

Now, finally is the time
to go back and verify.
Now is the time
to go back and verify.
We make totally sure
that we are right
We make totally sure
That we’ve been bright.
We write the number of the paragraphs
where our answers were found
next to the questions
and we will never be confound.

We Trapped “N” Rapped
We Rapped “N” Trapped
We just Trapped “N” Rapped it!

Science Vocabulary for K-8

Science Vocabulary Desk Boy Loves Studying Vocabulary!

Mastering science vocabulary is crucial for students in grades K-8 to excel in their science education and lays the foundation for understanding complex concepts and communicating effectively about scientific phenomena. To enhance their proficiency in science terminology, students can engage in various activities such as completing science vocabulary crosswords, word searches, and quizzes. Crossword puzzles offer an interactive and engaging way for students to reinforce their understanding of science vocabulary. By filling in the blanks with the correct terms, students actively recall and apply the meanings of scientific terms, promoting retention and comprehension. Word searches provide another enjoyable method for students to familiarize themselves with science vocabulary. Searching for terms horizontally, vertically, and diagonally within a grid encourages visual recognition of words and reinforces spelling. Quizzes serve as valuable assessment tools to gauge students’ grasp of science vocabulary. By regularly engaging in science vocabulary activities such as crosswords, word searches, and quizzes, students can develop a robust scientific vocabulary that will benefit them throughout their academic journey and beyond. These activities not only enhance students’ comprehension of science concepts but also improve their ability to communicate effectively about scientific topics. Moreover, the interactive nature of these activities makes learning enjoyable and encourages active participation in the learning process.
