Four Steps to California Testing Success

The Review, Practice, & Mastery program follows a sound and consistent instructional design that benefits both students and teacher.

1. Pretest/Diagnosis

Students take a comprehensive pretest and chart their results on the reproducible skills chart in the teacher guide. Instruction can then focus on the strategies and practice the students need.

2. Review

All of the skills in the California English/Language Arts and Mathematics Content Standards are thoroughly reviewed with step-by-step instruction. Test-taking strategies are embedded in every lesson to help students become testwise.

3. Authentic Practice

Every lesson concludes with a timed mastery test that covers the skills and test-taking strategies reviewed in that lesson.

4. Mastery

A timed mastery test at the end of the book shows the growth students have made from the pretest to the posttest. A reproducible bubble answer sheet is provided in the teacher guide so students can experience an authentic testing environment.
