...."Daily Warm-ups" for your morning work. When I get back to school on Monday, I will look at my book to find out who publishes these. They are great multi-genred short reading passages with related comprehension and critical
thinking questions.

I call these "RAP's"...Read, Answer, Prove! The students must go back into the passage and highlight where they found the answer.

They are also great because the passages come leveled ie..below grade level, at grade level, above grade level!

There are also tons of test prep books out there..perhaps your grade level has sample books you
can make copies from.

Hope this helps.

Also...about 60% of the score is derived from part one.....make sure you spend enough time on key words that are included in the questions..."mostly about", "all of the above except", go through old part ones and check out the wordings.

Don't burn yourself (or your students) out...you still have two months before the test. I usually start my test prep the week before Thanksgiving.

And remember......you cannot perform miracles. You can probably predict today the scores of most of your students!

Good luck!
