Preparing Students to Raise Achievement Scores Grades 3 to 4

Educators and parents have long searched for a way to reduce for all children the terror of taking standardized tests. Authors Leland Graham and Darriel Ledbetter have developed an excellent approach to increasing scores and decreasing apprehension for test takers. While simulated achievement test formats have been used in the creation of the practice pages, supplemental activity pages present individual skills in a more informal format. In addition to covering all basic subject areas, this resource will help improve students' self-confidence while raising their achievement levels. Specific areas covered include: ? Test-Taking Skills ? Vocabulary and Word-Building Skills ? Spelling Skills and Drills ? Reading Comprehension ? Language Mechanics and Usage ? Mathematical Computations and Concepts ? Mathematical Applications ? Reference Materials
