Share an engaging review of the TEKS Student Expectations tested on the TAKS with Buckle Down’s new Texas Writing edition for grades 4 and 7. Materials include 100% coverage of the six tested TAKS Objectives for writing, including language arts conventions and essay writing. The workbook encompasses prewriting, drafting, revising and editing, and writing applications. Unit titles include: Before Writing; Improving Your Writing; and TAKS Writing Practice.

• TAKS writing has been revised to include Texas-specific references to teach in terms of what students already know.
• Two practice tests provide practice with the same item types on the TAKS, including writing prompts and multiple-choice questions covering revising and editing.
• End-of-lesson exercises and practice tests are matched to the TAKS format, building familiarity and improving test-taking confidence.
