8th Grade Reading, Writing, & Language Arts Milestones Review with ANSWER Key

This is a review packet for students taking the 8th grade Milestones. This review covers every CCGPS standard (particularly the reading, writing, and language standards). The last page will guide students through how to best answer a constructed response/short answer question using the ACE strategy and transition words. This would be great to review with any grade level, though. Very in-depth and asks students to recall definitions and create their own examples for language used in the standar

iReady Contest ~ AWARD ~ Motivates Students Math and Reading! Editable!

Don’t you just hate it when you finally get the hang of a reading or math program and your district (or admin) decide it’s time to start using something new. When that happened at my school, we were told to “trust the process”… The only problem is that while the process is going on, we’re in the trenches having to figure out how to make it work.It took me a while to get the hang of iReady, but I can FINALLY say that I have figured out a system that’s been working for me and my kiddos!

Grammar Unit One: What is a Sentence?

The purpose of this series of workbooks is to make a better writer. Grammar, taught in isolation, does not improve writing skills. Grammar taught with skills connected to application can and will dramatically improve a student�s abilities in writing.

STAAR 2.0 Redesign ECR/Essay Prompt Creator

If you are like me, you are frustrated with the lack of samples of the new extended constructed response prompts we have to go off of per grade level in ELA in preparation for the revised STAAR test starting April of 2023. My thought in creating this resource was to empower you to create your own prompts in the same style/wording as the new ECR prompts so that you can tailor them to whatever you are reading in class, since the prompts must be tied to literature now. We all read a variety of li
