Introduction to Texas Test Support
This book is designed to reinforce and provide additional practice for the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) that are eligible for assessment on the Grade 4 STAAR Reading and Writing tests.
The book includes sections that familiarize students with the types of passages and items they may encounter on the Grade 4 STAAR Reading and Writing tests. For additional practice with full-length tests, use the Texas Treasures Benchmark Assessments.

Each Writing: Revising and Editing section includes:

review items A practice selection that represents

How to Use This Book
Each section in Texas Test Support addresses a specific skill to provide students with a chance for review and practice. You may choose to follow the order in which the sections appear, or you may prefer to move between the Reading and Writing sections. Alternatively, when other Treasures assessments indicate a need for further instruction in specific skill areas, you may choose the sections of this book that address those needs.
This book is not intended to be used as an assessment tool. Rather, its purpose is to provide review and practice with specific isolated tested skills and to familiarize students with the skills and questions they may encounter on the Grade 4 STAAR Reading and Writing tests. Its administration can therefore be viewed as instruction as opposed to formal assessment.
Review Answer Keys begin on page 223.
Practice Answer Keys begin on page 230. Use the Scoring Charts on pages viii and ix to record your students' scores on the practice questions. These charts can help you track the sections the students have completed, as well as your students' overall mastery of each skill.
Answer Sheets are provided on pages 218 and 219.
For the writing prompts, Planning Pages and an Answer Document are provided on pages 220?222. Please note that the Written Composition portion of the Grade 4 STAAR Writing test now allows only ONE page for student responses. If a student submits a longer composition, only the first page of content will be scored.
