ELA Test Prep Reading and Writing Assessment Bundle: Reading & Writing Test Prep

This ELA Prep Mega-Bundle for both reading AND writing assessment will help prepare your students for their ELA standardized state exams. Practice, assess, and improve the reading and writing skills of your high school and advanced middle school ELA students, all while preparing them for their standardized exams. This ELA Reading and Writing Test Prep bundle allows you to target specific reading and writing skills and standards your students need help with most--without boring them to pieces or taking up endless hours of instruction.

This no-prep, easy-to-use, time-saving Reading & Writing ELA Test Prep Bundle includes EIGHT teacher-favorite resources:

ELA Reading Assessment #1: An assessment comprised of three rigorous reading passages (short story, informational text, and poetry), each with a set of 35 multiple choice questions identified by standard. This test can be administered at the beginning of the year, of the semester, or of the testing season. After the test, students complete the included performance analysis worksheet to identify their areas of strength and weakness and create an action plan for improvement. The results analyses also serves as your instructional compass to guide future lessons and practice activities.

ELA Snapshot Assessments Volume 1: Use these quick “snapshot” practice assessments, each focused on an individual reading standard, to help students improve the specific skills and standards they've identified as needing the most support. The “snapshot” reading assessments provide a great opportunity for meaningful differentiation, as you can assign different practice assessments to different classes or students based on their individual needs. They work well as homework assignments, station activities, bell work, summary activities, tutoring work and skill reviews.

ELA Snapshot Assessments Volume 2: Students can continue to practice in the areas in which they need most help with this second volume of snapshot assessments. As with the first volume, each snapshot assessment includes a short, ½-page reading passage followed by a number of questions all focused on a single reading standard. In this way, students get the focused practice they need, while you are able to easily monitor progress by individual student and standard.

ELA Reading Assessment #2: This second reading assessment will enable you to monitor student progress overall, as well as by individual standard and student. Like the first, this reading assessment includes three rigorous passages, each followed by a set of questions identified by standard. The assessment also includes a similar results analysis that allows both student and teacher to gauge progress by standard and create an action plan for additional improvement. The resource can be used as formative assessment or as an end-of-year exam.

2-WEEK INFORMATIVE WRITING UNIT: This resource provides everything you need to teach your high school and advanced middle school students how to write an effective informative or expository essay. From the introduction, body paragraphs, and MLA citations, to transitions, conclusion, and everything in between, this resource provides step-by-step, paragraph-by-paragraph lessons and activities that will take you and your secondary students through the entire process of planning, drafting and revising an effective informative or expository essay.

2-WEEK ARGUMENTATIVE WRITING UNIT: This comprehensive argumentative writing unit includes everything you need to guide your secondary students through the entire argument essay writing process, from start to finish, including step-by-step argumentative writing mini-lessons, guided notes, scaffolded writing activities, graphic organizers, argumentative writing prompts and text passages, and model argumentative essay for analysis provide all the tools your students need to master this crucial skill.

Making Test Prep Fun: And, because nothing brings more dread—to both students and teachers--than testing season, this resource is included to help you create a test prep program that actually adds some friendly competitive fun to the classroom!

ALL documents within this bundle are offered as fully editable Word or PowerPoint documents. This allows you to customize or differentiate the materials for your students’ particular needs.

Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt and many, many more.
