These standards set expectations for what it means to be a skilled reader and
writer in the twenty-first century. They provide strategies for reading fiction and
nonfiction closely and attentively. They help students look for evidence and
make critical judgments about the vast amount of print and digital information
available.
These standards increase the depth and focus of math topics studied in each
grade. Instead of sampling a wide variety of skills each year, students work to
develop deep understanding and mastery of a few concepts.
Whats Inside?
Lesson pages contain sample questions and examples related to a specific skill. The assumption
is that your student has received prior instruction on the topics. These pages can provide
focused practice.
Sample tests are shorter tests with questions about one subtopic.
Practice tests are comprehensive tests with questions about the entire content area.
Practice Options
Choose how you will use the materials to meet the needs of your student.
Select pages matching the skills your student needs to practice most.
Assign lesson pages for practice throughout the week. End the week with a sample or practice
test related to those skills.
Administer a timed practice test in a quiet setting. For a fifth grade student, allow 1.25 minutes per
question. After the test, check answers together and talk about what was most difficult.
