SUGGESTED PACING:
- 🧭 Map the year: Pin one full test to each marking period; use the other 22 tests as targeted reteach when data points to it.
- 📖 Genre rotation: Walk the class through one literary, one informational, and one paired-text passage set each week for genre stamina.
- 🔍 Mistake review: Track each missed item to its reporting category. Reteach to the category, not the question.
- 📚 Independent reading link: Tie selected passages to texts students are reading independently — same skills, different stakes.
- ⏱️ Timed builds: Late in the year, time tests at the actual CAASPP pace so students experience the rhythm before test day.
WHY FOUR BOOKS, NOT ONE
- Volume that lasts the year. Four books deliver 26 unique tests — enough for benchmark windows, reteaching cycles, and a clean final-review week without recycling questions.
- Item-format depth. Each book practices a different blend of multiple-choice and the more advanced item types CAASPP uses, so students build comfort with every format Grade 7 will face.
- Grade-7-specific rigor. Inferential reading, citing several pieces of evidence, and analyzing author’s craft — the bundle drills the exact skills that separate proficient from below-proficient at Grade 7.
- One discount, one download. 30%+ off the individual book pricing, delivered as four ready-to-print PDFs.
