Help! I Need Confidence in Reading so I Pass End of the Year Tests (Group)

Ages 9-14
Live Group Class
As an educator and parent, I know the stress students are under to pass the state-mandated end of year tests. Using the state released study guides, I can teach students and give feedback on what it takes to pass those important tests.
Live video meetings
1x per week, 5 weeks
1-5 learners per class
45 min

What's included

5 live meetings
3 hrs 45 mins in-class hours
Homework
1 hour per week. Students will need to work on certain question types for homework. The answers must be submitted, so I have time to give accurate feedback and to get it returned, so we can discuss it at the next session.
Assessment
I will grade the same way they will be scored on the mandated tests.
Grading

Class Experience

I can do 3rd through 6th grade, and I am willing to split times by grade levels. The class will be a positive, engaging environment set up with the learner in mind. Furthermore, the class will be rigorous to ensure all sections of the study guide have been taught. The in-depth grading and relevant discussion will ensure the students will be ready for the tests. By allowing students to learn what is expected, they will be able to relax and do their best on the test!

Students will be taught with the English Language Arts (this includes Reading and Writing) state released end of the year study guides. By practicing the format and the question types, students will become comfortable and confident by testing time.  This will reduce stress and anxiety, because students will feel better prepared going into the test setting. I will model and interact with the students, as well as explain and grade the independent practice. The guidance and feedback will prepare students to be ready for the test. You must start months in advance in order to be familiar with each  question type. The topics include  DESCRIPTION OF TEST FORMAT AND ORGANIZATION, ITEM TYPES, DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE EXAMPLE ITEMS, CONTENT DESCRIPTION AND ADDITIONAL SAMPLE ITEMS, ADDITIONAL SAMPLE ITEM KEYS, EXAMPLE SCORING RUBRICS, EXEMPLAR RESPONSES, AND WRITING RUBRICS.
