Test Talk

I just received a new book I ordered called Test Talk: Integrating Test Prep into Reading Workshop. Most of you know that after 7 years in 2nd grade I am finally entering the world of standardized testing. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I my biggest fear is for me to teach my new 3rd graders an entire year only to have them fail their end of the year assessments. I can't wait to dive into it, after I finish with Vacation Bible School next week I intend to dive head first into this read. Have you read the book? Tell me what you think in a comment below!

Assessment Checklist

I've taught 2nd grade for 7 wonderful years! But I also recognize that that season in my life has come to an end and a new season is beginning... in 3rd grade! So for the first time as an educator I will enter the world of standardized testing. I'm a little nervous but that's to be expected. To prep my students for the Virginia SOL Reading 3 Test, I created this checklist for them to complete after every reading test or cold read.
