MISSISSIPPI Writing from Buckle Down

Mississippi Writing prep aligned to the Mississippi Curriculum Frameworks.

What Your Colleagues Say

"Buckle Down has been a great tool to use to hammer down the finishing touches to MCT preparation. Having missed so many days due to Katrina, we had to extend our school day. We used that portion of time to drill skills solely from the Buckle Down series. It truly will be one of the variables in giving our students the needed edge for testing. "

Covering all areas from brainstorming to revision and editing, Buckle Down's grade 4 & 7 Writing programs are a focused review of the skills students need to succeed on the Mississippi Writing Assessment.  The two external practice tests contain three prompts, one of each type—narrative, informative, and persuasive—to prepare students for all question types they may encounter on the test.

  • Grade 4 units include Prewriting, Writing, Improving What You Have Written, and Writing Practice.
  • Grade 7 units include Prewriting, Drafting, Revising and Editing, and Writing Applications.
  • Activities in each lesson guide students through the writing process from start to finish.
  • References to Mississippi places, culture, and personalities help teach in terms of what students already know.

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