Buckle Down's in-depth writing materials for grades 4 and 8 deliver the concise instruction and standards-specific review that leads to better test scores. Students are guided through the writing process while practicing with writing activities students will encounter on test day. Focused on the process, from Prewriting and Improving What You Have Written to Writing Practice, each student set includes two external practice tests with prompts just like those your students will encounter on the test.

• NEW! Updated to reflect the 2007 Revised Sunshine State Standards.
• Focus on mechanics of writing to improve grammar.
• Test-formatted practice at the end of each lesson.
• References to Florida culture, people, and places.

Every student book comes with a FREE Form A Practice Test (pretest) and Form B Practice Test (posttest).
