Achieving McAs Success in English Language Arts - Student Text

By Howard Berrent

Achieving MCAS Success in English Language Arts are part of Contemporary's High School State Exit Exam Preparation series, offering complete preparation for the MCAS English Language Arts test. Pretests and Posttests The text contains a pretest and posttest that mirror the format of the actual test. Diagnostic correlations charts determine student strengths and weaknesses and reference the lessons within the text for targeted remediation. Because the pretest and posttest mirror the format of the actual test, students will become familiar and comfortable with the test format, which helps to relieve test anxiety. Three-Step Lesson Format In English Language Arts , lessons are in a three-step format that helps build student endurance. In step one, students are presented with an instructional lesson with two sample questions. This instructional lesson uses shorter, lower level reading passages. Step two is written at a slightly higher reading level and provides longer reading passages with less instruction and more practice. The final step provides a full-length passage and questions that reinforce the standard addressed in the lesson.
