About the Reading Test Prep Bundle:

These resources included in this test prep bundle are most ideal for test prep that focuses on reviewing skills with short answer and constructed response questions.

Use these resources to:

• assess your students
• review and re-teach specific skills and standards with short answer/constructed response questions
• explicitly teach and practice constructed response questions

This bundle includes the following reading test prep resources.

Assess Your Students

*Reading Benchmark Assessment: This assessment includes 8 texts, 27 questions (a mix of multiple choice & constructed response), and optional evidence-based writing prompts. **Includes Google Slides and Google Forms versions!

Ideas for Use: This can be used to assess your students before test prep to see which skills you need to review.

Give Targeted Skill-Review and Practice

*Skill-Based Reading Review Practice: This skill/standards-based review will allow you to review specific reading skills with short answer questions. There are 62 review pages in all (34 informational and 28 fiction) Each printable includes a grade-level text, directions for annotating, and four questions that address/review the skill. **Includes Google Slides

Ideas for Use: This resource is perfect for targeted skill review during whole group, small group, reading centers, and independent practice.

*Reading Skill Review Flipbook Bundle: Review key reading skills using these reading flipbooks. **Includes Google Slides

Ideas for Use: This resource is helpful for a quick review of the main literature and informational skills in an engaging format.

*4th Grade Reading Review Printable Booklet: This review booklet includes shorter, manageable texts and short answer questions. There are two texts per reading standard. **Includes Google Slides!

Ideas for Use: I assign this to my students to work on independently or in reading centers. As students complete pages, I am able to check in with their progress and mastery. It is a great way to see who needs re-teaching. You can use this after you review skills to see who needs more work OR before to see if re-teaching is needed and for who.

Note: 5th grade teachers, use this set for additional practice or for your lower readers.

*5th Grade Reading Review Printable Booklet: This review booklet includes shorter, manageable texts and short answer questions. There are two texts per reading standard. **Includes Google Slides!

Ideas for Use: This can be used the same way as the 4th grade booklet. The texts are different, so it can be used for additional practice or to differentiate.

Note: 4th grade teachers, use this set for additional practice or for your higher readers.

Explicitly Teach and Practice Constructed and Extended Response

*RACE Printable Practice Booklet: This resource is a great way to introduce constructed response questions with short texts. **Includes Google Slides

Ideas for Use: This resource is perfect to introduce and model how to answer short constructed response questions using the RACE strategy.

*Restate the Question Bingo: Use this bingo game to remind your students to restate questions and allow them to practice. **Printable Only

Ideas for Use: After introducing RACE, my students often need more practice with restating questions. This is a great activity to give students that practice.

*Constructed Response & Extended Response Bundle: This resource includes 12 one-page passages (informational, literature, & paired passages) with constructed & extended response questions. **Includes Google Slides

Ideas for Use: Once students have mastered RACE with shorter texts, they are ready for lengthier texts that require them to also apply skill-knowledge (such as theme, main idea, inference, etc.). This resource provides that practice.

BONUS:

*Survivor Themed Reading Test Prep: This resource includes passages and test prep questions with a Survivor Game Show Theme. **Printable Only

Ideas for Use: I use this for a themed review day a few days before the test to add some levity while still reviewing and practicing for the test.
