This book is a tool to give your students practice in taking standardized tests. Research shows that students who are acquainted with the scoring format of standardized tests score higher on those tests. Students also score higher when they practice and understand the pressures of timed tests. The language arts and writing concepts presented in this book are typically found on standardized tests at this grade level. The scores on these activities are an indication of a student's ability to take tests, not necessarily to master the concepts or content used for practice.
