Test taking strategy puzzle activity
Before my third graders took their third grade Reading Guarantee test, we went over a multitude of test taking strategies! I had each student choose 4, and write one on each puzzle piece. Then cut out the puzzle pieces and glue them together, on construction paper. This helped them commit the strategies to memory, as opposed to just hearing me repeat them over and over again!
They can also glue the pieces in their interactive reading notebooks for future reference too!
