    This pack includes an entire year of DIGITAL AND PRINTABLE FORMATS of fiction and nonfiction tests that assess ALL 4th Grade Standards for key ideas and details, craft and structure, & integration of knowledge and ideas.

    These standards include skills such as

    • drawing inferences
    • citing explicit evidence
    • main idea
    • recounting details
    • theme
    • summarizing
    • character details, actions, and traits
    • contributions of setting and events
    • explain relationship of events, ideas, and concepts
    • determine meaning of words and phrases
    • figurative language
    • mythological allusions
    • use text features
    • describe the structure: chronology, comparison, cause/effect, problem/solution
    • refer to parts of story, drama, poems using correct terms and explain differences
    • compare/contrast point of view (first and third person)
    • compare/contrast firsthand and secondhand accounts
    • analyze how illustrations contribute to mood, character, setting
    • use information gained from illustrations to explain text
    • describe connections in a text
    • explain author’s reasons and evidence
    • make connections between text and visual presentations
    • compare themes, plots, topics, events, and settings of stories
    • compare and contrast two texts on the same topic
    • integrate information from two texts

    Each standard has twelve individual assessments (6 fiction and 6 nonfiction), so these are perfect for standards-based grading! There are also 12 additional assessments provided with the standards combined.

    USE THESE for:
    ✓ pre-assessments
    ✓ formative assessments
    ✓ whole group mini-lessons
    ✓ independent practice
    ✓ homework
    ✓ small group remediation
    ✓ re-assessing
    ✓ progress monitoring
    ✓ standards-based grading
    ✓ assign digital Google Forms

    I have aligned them with Common Core, but because reading comprehension skills are assessed similarly across the board, you can easily use these even if you don’t use Common Core.

    If you would prefer to have the passages differentiated for small groups, stations, or assessment purposes, you can buy the BUNDLE of DIFFERENTIATED Mix and Match Assessments here!

    ***PLEASE NOTE- The passages used in this resource are also featured in the 3rd and 5th Grade Assessments but on different reading levels. The assessments in this pack ARE THE SAME as in the sets of DIFFERENTIATED MIX AND MATCH ASSESSMENTS. If you already own the Mix And Match Assessments, do not buy these!! 🙂

    Many people who use my Better Than Basal sets often ask how to assess after teaching with mentor texts. Rather than assessing on the book, I suggest assessing on the skill to see if they can apply it! This line of assessments is your answer! 🙂

    *****************************************************************************
    WHAT’S INCLUDED?

    There are 48 texts included in this pack (24 fiction and 24 nonfiction). They are included in printable and digital formats (Google Forms with self-grading options).

    The ways to combine the texts and standards are ENDLESS! Please look at the preview file to see the MANY POSSIBILITIES of ways to use these assessments!

    I created a variety of long and short passages, as well as questions for each standard for each passage. The questions are not numbered so that you can mix and match them to create a longer test covering the skills you desire, or use them independently. I included the short passages with their questions on one page, but also on two separate pages so that you may use as many questions per passage as you’d like.

    *****************************************************************************

    Are you interested in differentiating these assessments for use in small groups, stations, or differentiated testing? Grab the differentiated packs instead. If a student is reading on a 3rd grade level in 5th grade, you might still give him the 5th grade questions, but give the 3rd grade passage. This will truly assess if he can perform the skill, not if he can read the passage given.

    Have you ever wondered what a book looks like afte Have you ever wondered what a book looks like after I finish using it to create a #mentorsentence unit? πŸ™ˆ I just completed the six-week mini-unit for A Rover's Story, which is this year's Global Read Aloud for Middle Grades/Upper Elementary! #GRA23

Will you be participating with your class? It all kicks off on October 2nd. πŸ€“

In this book, Resilience, or Res for short, is a Mars rover who is determined to live up to his name. πŸ€– He was not built to have human emotions. But as he learns new things from the NASA scientists who assemble him, he begins to develop humanlike feelings. I never thought I could feel so much for a robot. I might have even shed a few tears at the end...! πŸ˜… #GRARover

This is why teaching vocabulary in context is SO important! πŸ€“

If your students are just "looking up a list," how many of your students pick the first definition and write it down, then move on to the next word? πŸ“

Or better yet… raise your hand if you have one of *those* students who finds the SHORTEST definition of the word to write! πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ
