Rise & Shine STAAR Prep Grade 4 Writing

These workbooks are designed to equip your 4th-grade students with the skills they’ll need for success on the writing portion of the STAAR test. Divided into two sections, Rise and Shine STAAR Writing first presents students with a series of engaging reading passages embedded with errors of grammar, usage, mechanics, content, and organization. The multiple-choice questions that follow each passage are designed to help them recognize and correct these mistakes. In the second section, students write their own compositions in response to the writing prompts they encounter. As part of each exercise, students are urged to prewrite and are given space in which to organize their thoughts before writing. A checklist in each prompt helps students focus on the important elements of good writing as they are completing the prompts. Teacher Editions contain STAAR objectives and scoring rubrics. Nowhere will you find more extensive preparation for the STAAR Writing Assessment!
