ELA Test Prep (or Teaching) for Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grade Standards

Whether you are squeezing in last-minute test prep or thinking ahead to fall, we have a variety of materials to help third, fourth, and fifth graders meet standards. You can use these materials to evaluate progress, practice and teach, or pre-test.

LANGUAGE ARTS

Mastering the conventions of standard English can be a trial for many children. We have a variety of materials for you to teach, assess, practice, or remediate these crucial skills. The Revising and Editing Bundle by Rosie’s Resources is a handy set for last minute test prep.

If your students need more, check out these resources:

• Conventions of Standard English-Grammar and Usage (CC.ELA.L.1)
  
• Conventions of Standard English-Capitalization, Punctuation and Spelling (CC.ELA.L.2)
  

In language arts, students also need to master vocabulary acquisition and use (CC.ELA.L.4, CC.ELA.L.5 and CC.ELA.L.6). This can range from the skills of sequencing, to being able to use context clues to determine word meaning. Rachel Lynette has three decks of increasing difficulty to help students master context clues. Other skills you can practice using cards from our vocabulary collection include Greek and Latin roots, parts of speech, and commonly confused words.

READING

To master the art of reading with comprehension, students must be able to determine main ideas, key details, and draw inferences. We have materials for students to practice drawing conclusions, making generalizations, making predictions, and making inferences from pictures.

Barb Evans creates a variety of materials that combine critical thinking and problem solving with vocabulary building.

You can find more materials here:

• Key Ideas and Details (CC.ELA.R.3)
  
• Fact or Opinion and Author’s Tone (CC.ELA.R.4)
• Text Structures and Genre (CC.ELA.R.6)
  
• Point of View and Author’s Purpose (CC.ELA.R.6)
• Character Traits (CC.ELA.R.7)

Writing skills include the ability to write dialogue, sequence, and understand and craft analogies. You can find writing materials for grades third, fourth and fifth here.

Happy Teaching!
