This is Lyndsey from Lit with Lyns! I'm super excited to be sharing what I do with my students to prepare for the dreaded end of year testing. Since I teach English/Language Arts, there is SOOOO much to cover in one year!
First off, I use these Common Core Task Cards to teach students vocabulary they may come across, in order to enhance their understanding of terms. I also use videos when teaching the vocab words, as this is a great way to introduce them, while also keeping the students engaged. You can find a freebie sample of these here!
I also feel that it's important for students to be able to determine the correct type of text structure, which can often be challenging to do. Because of this, I try to begin teaching students this towards the beginning of the year. I see such an improvement in reading comprehension and students' ability to learn more specific content information once they grasp this material.
Point of view is another important component that help students comprehend what they're reading more easily. Understanding the point of view from which the story is being told allows them to have a better idea of the characters in the story, and also enables students to think more in depth about how the characters change throughout the story. Students who have a strong understanding of the literary vocabulary, text structure, and point of view typically do better at comprehending the material they read. This is why I created this bundle- E/LA End of Year Test Prep! This product includes: 20 Point of View Task Cards, 13 Text Structure Task Cards, and 36 Common Core Vocab Task Cards.

I'd love to hear how you prepare your students for testing. What has worked in your classes? Let us know in the comments below!
