ELA Assessment - Exam w/Test Review MINI-BOOK - w/Digital Test- Standards Based

This 50-question Multiple Choice ELA Test comes with a 7-page Mini-Book so that students can review and practice Literary Terms and standards-based concepts! The exam is now included in Google Forms version for digital use. Great as a final exam or to prepare for state testing.

As we approached state testing time, I designed this product as a tool to “regroup” my students around the topics and skills we'd worked with. Teachers can assess their students’ knowledge and students can self-assess to discover strengths or weaknesses. The test centers on Literary Terms (20 A-E matching questions) and standards-based Reading Skills (30 A-D multiple choice, most with short reading passages).
