What Every Middle School Teacher Needs to Know About Reading Tests

(From Someone Who Has Written Them)

Charles Fuhrken

"Knowing the test lexicon makes students 'insiders' and less vulnerable to feeling like tests are something that happen to them rather than something that they command. When students are in-the-know about test tasks and demands and understand what is being asked of them, their responses—and ultimately their test scores -- more accurately reflect their ability and knowledge in reading."
