This package can be used as a lesson plan to prepare your 5th grade students for their upcoming standardized language arts test! It provides a grade appropriate passage as well as carefully constructed questions aimed towards testing comprehension and meeting common core standards.

Included is a passage much like one would find on an upcoming standardized test with sample questions, answers, and aligned common core standards. This package includes both a teacher version with the standards and answer key and a student version with fill-in-the-blank spaces for answers.

If you are looking for more opportunities for your students to practice, check out my product - "The Totally Awesome Test-Prep Strategies Toolkit & Practice Packs." It addition to the articles, it gives great mnemonic devices to help students learn how to confidently attack a test (close-reading, multiple choice, short response and extended response questions plus ways to mentally prepare before and during tests.)
