Sample�pages�from�the�Grade 4 English/Language Arts�student�book1. Pretest/Diagnosis

Students take a comprehensive pretest and chart their results on the reproducible skills chart in the teacher guide. Data-driven instruction can then focus on the strategies and practice the students need.

2. Review All of the skills in the

California English/Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science Content Standards are thoroughly reviewed with step-by-step instruction. Test-taking strategies are embedded in every lesson to help students become testwise.

“The example items and step-by-step boxes are very clear…I want to use some

of the wording you used in my own instruction!”—Jennifer Mielke, Fourth Grade Teacher

“Perfection Learning has developed a tool that will help teachers and students assess

and target grade level content areas that may need improvement and further instruction.”—Jennifer Kenny, Reading Specialist

3. Authentic Practice Every lesson concludes

with a timed mastery test that covers the skills and test-taking strategies reviewed in that lesson.

4. Mastery A timed mastery test at

the end of the book shows the growth students have made from the pretest to the posttest. A reproducible bubble answer sheet is provided in the teacher guide so students can experience an authentic testing environment.

“We have been using Perfection Learning’s Review, Practice, & Mastery of California Content Standards and Better Test Scores on

State Writing Assessments programs for many years in the Valle Lindo School District. We find the helpful hints, tips, and the wide variety of curriculum samples very valuable to our students as they develop their

study skills aligned with the California Content Standards. We have showed steady progress throughout the years as a result.”

—John Gannon, New Temple Elementary Principal Los Angeles, California

“…each standard is addressed by at least a few practice questions. Even better,

some are done more than one way to make sure that the concept is understood.”—Jeffrey Harr, Eighth Grade Teacher

“The student book helps students think in a very intentional way about what is needed to be successful [on the state exam]. It also gives

attention to the process and skills needed for the students to connect with the content and show

what they know on the exam.”—Janet Sopczynski, Language Arts Implementer K–12

“The application of skills in Reading Express is open-ended enough to allow for individuality among students. Some other programs currently on the market are very limiting in that they apply a straitjacket, as it were, to stylistic uniqueness. They bring each child, lock step, through instruction.

Kids don’t all learn that way and the design of Reading Express seems to take that into account. It gives young students more room to demonstrate learning in a far less restrictive environment.”

—Dr. Steven Lester
