These workbooks are designed to equip your 4th-grade and 7th-grade students with the skills they'll need for success on the writing portion of the STAAR test. Divided into two sections, Rise and Shine STAAR Writing first presents students with a series of engaging reading passages embedded with errors of grammar, usage, mechanics, content, and organization. The multiple-choice questions that follow each passage are designed to help them recognize and correct these mistakes. In the second section, students write their own compositions in response to the writing prompts they encounter. As part of each exercise, students are urged to prewrite and are given space in which to organize their thoughts before writing. A checklist in each prompt helps students focus on the important elements of good writing as they are completing the prompts. Teacher Editions contain STAAR objectives and scoring rubrics. Nowhere will you find more extensive preparation for the STAAR Writing Assessment! (Grades 4 and 7) For students who are working below grade level, Rise & Shine STAAR Writing is available in an ungraded version - Mastering Texas Writing

They then proceed through a detailed sample exercise. Students are presented with at least ten sample exercises in which they are encouraged to recognize and critique organization, relevance, elaboration, tone, purpose, and focus, as well as correct sentence construction and appropriate use of details and dialogue.

100% Aligned with STAAR Standards for Reading Comprehension! These books are designed to prepare your students for the Reading portion of the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR). Many states measure achievement in reading by assessing student progress on benchmark objectives identified in their state standards. The state of Texas is one of those states. This book provides teachers with a variety of reading passages and questions that help assess student knowledge of reading standards tested on the STAAR. This practice book provides reading passages that consist of narrative text, expository text, and mixed passages.

Questions follow each passage. Each question is designed to assess a specific STAAR standard. Teacher Editions contain an answer key which tells you the type of passage, higher level vocabulary found in each passage, each standard tested along with its correct answer, and a list of possible extension activities.
