"Arming your students with this game plan will lead to victory on test day. These well-defined writing and reading strategies will positively impact students′ scores."
―Cheryl Yocum, English Language Arts Consultant
Wayne RESA, MI
"This book makes it easy for teachers to develop units based on their own state tests. By employing the strategies in this book, teachers will level the playing field for all students and make high-stakes test taking a game of knowledge rather than a game of chance."
―Mary McConnell, School Improvement Facilitator

- Reading and analyzing texts

Meet the demands of high-stakes testing and develop students′ confidence to conquer the challenges of test taking in the classroom and decision making throughout their lives.
