Tired of "Drill & Kill"?
Why Schoolwide developed Testing Fundamentals
Too often students see learning to read and test preparation as separate entities. In many classrooms, "real reading" and "authentic reading instruction" resume after the state assessments; and many educators are frustrated with the commonly used "drill and kill" approach. Testing Fundamentals links essential reading strategies with the essential strategies required of students in testing-taking situations. The instruction is delivered in a Reading Workshop model based on best practice, a gradual release of responsibility model of instruction.
