Give students the edge that leads to better scores with Buckle Down's all-new reading materials, designed to review the standards most commonly tested on state reading assessments at Grades 2-8. Each workbook features a range of literary passages and informational texts, including fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Areas of review include main idea and details, theme, vocabulary, reading strategies, making connections, literary techniques, and author’s purpose.

• Student Sets include two external practice tests, each with five reading passages and associated multiple-choice and short-answer questions.
• End-of-lesson “Reading Practice” sections provide even more test-formatted practice, putting students at ease with the same types of questions they will encounter on state tests.
• Newly revised with careful attention to grade-level appropriate vocabulary and content.

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