Description: This lesson offers test-taking strategies that develop vocabulary, reading comprehension, and language arts mechanics.

OBJECTIVE

1. Apply various strategies learned in class to formal assessments.

MATERIALS

1. I use the following professional resource when teaching test-taking strategies. Super Strategies for Succeeding on the Standardized Tests: Reading/Language Arts

SET UP AND PREPARE
Each strategy described below is intended to be used as a suggestion for independent practice. I suggest that you provide multiple practice opportunities throughout the year, prior to test date, so that your students will use the strategies on this and other formal assessments. You may duplicate any one of the suggested practice assessments in the professional book listed above or use your own. See my booklist for other suggestions.
