4th Grade STAAR Writing Review Task Cards Set 1 New ELAR TEKS

With the implementation of the new ELAR TEKS this year, you need a resource to help your students prepare for the test. For school years 2019-20 and 2020-21, students will only be assessed on overlap standards (those standards that are included in both the 2009 TEKS and 2017 TEKS) per TEA; this resource is aligned to those overlap standards, and it will be updated if necessary in 2021 for the 2021-22 school year when more 2017 standards are assessed.

We firmly believe that the best test prep starts in August. To effectively review, you should begin preparing students during the 1st 6 weeks of school, and our favorite way to test prep is with our STAR READY Task Cards©!

This 1st set of STAR Ready 4th Grade Writing Task Cards includes 24 task cards aligned with 4th grade writing TEKS and common core standards and are perfect for assessing where your students are and where you need to go for the next 6 weeks of school.

These rigorous, higher-level thinking questions are made in STAAR format, have multiple choice answers, and address the following skills:

• Capitalization
• Complete simple & compound sentences with subject/verb agreement
• Editing drafts
• Informational text
• Introductory & concluding sentences
• Parts of speech (pronouns, past tense irregular verbs, contractions, proper nouns)
