Student Practice Tests Booklet in Reading and Writing (eBook, ePUB)

Upper Elementary Grades 3 to 5 Comprehension and Writing Teacher to Student

Beschreibung

This test booklet has some unique qualities. It allows the students to get an idea of the kinds of passages and the level of vocabulary used in questioning. But the uniqueness does not end there. The booklet also provides teachers and parents with the instruments that will improve the ability of the children to complete the state tests. Know that teachers and parents can begin by allowing their fourth-grade children to work on passages intended for third graders and move forward and vice versa. Other grades can do the same. Everyone has the opportunity to look at the passages and questions presented to the other grades. Note carefully the approaches to the questions, because there is a specific vocabulary used in the questions. There is a wealth of writing exercises that require the students to think deeply. Building stamina is very important. Length of passages and level of difficulty are considered. Each grade is presented with one mini-test and three full length tests. The parents and the teachers can actually simulate the real test and give themselves time to identify the childrens weaknesses and strengths. Therefore, they can work on these weaknesses and reinforce concepts at the same time. At the end of every test there are additional questions designed to challenge the children and encourage the teachers and the parents to create their own questions from the passages. There is a teachers edition that identifies the answers to all questions and the types of questions. For example, there may be questions that require the students to know main idea, authors purpose, compare and contrast and so on. These are indicated in the teachers edition. There are writing exercises for the students to do. Useful hints relating to the kinds of responses are also presented in the teachers edition. A suggested rubric is also included. This book is inclusive of all, including Special Needs Students who must write the same tests as other students, and whose grades and progress impact the general performance of the school.

Autor

Leslie Knight is a career teacher who started as a teenager in Trinidad. Although Mr. Knight taught at all levels, from the gifted and talented, the adult education classes, the SAT classes to the students who were home bound, his main focus was always the elementary and junior high schools, where he was a classroom teacher, a mentor, a professional developer, a test coordinator, and an assistant principal during his tenure.. The system of writing tests is not new to him because he created many tests just for his class of students or for the junior high school that he supervised. For several years, Mr. Knight had been involved in the grading of the New York City Tests also. This book is written with the aim of raising the reading level of the students by introducing vocabulary-rich exercises, thoughtful and challenging questions, and a variety of writing exercises that require the students to think objectively. The book is intended to be different because the students can review other exercises that are intended for a lower grade or the students can take the opportunity to try a more advanced piece of reading material. The author is aware that the special needs students are given the same tests as the general education students. Therefore, they must be given the experience of the same material.
