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.

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.
