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 5 STAAR Reading test and the Grade 7 STAAR Writing test.

The book includes sections that familiarize students with the types of passages and items they may encounter on the STAAR Reading and Writing tests. For additional practice with full-length tests, use the Texas Treasures Benchmark Assessments.

The reading sections in this book are aligned directly with the TEKS that are eligible for assessment on the Grade 5 STAAR Reading test. The writing sections address Grade 5 Writing TEKS that closely correspond to the TEKS eligible for assessment on the Grade 7 STAAR Writing Test. Each section includes a review of the skill and a passage with items to practice the skill.

Each Reading section includes: A review of the skill Multiple-choice and/or short-response review items A practice reading selection in STAAR format and style Multiple-choice items in STAAR format and style

Each Writing: Revising and Editing section includes:

A review of the skill Multiple-choice and/or short-response

review items A practice selection that represents

student writing with errors in STAAR format and style Multiple-choice items in STAAR format and style

The two Writing: Written Composition sections include:

A review of composition skills with an introduction to the writing prompts found on the Grade 7 STAAR Writing test

Short-response review items 4 personal narrative writing prompts in

STAAR format and style 4 expository writing prompts in STAAR

format and style

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 5 STAAR Reading test and the Grade 7 STAAR Writing test. 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 7 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.
