Note from the author:
This was copied over from the DoDEA practice summative test for 4th grade on the website (May 2023) so students can take the test and have their works saved for review and self assessment/reflection.
This is Unit 2 of 2 practice units. The standards have been added so help teachers identify areas of strength and challenge. The writing component needs to be manually scored. I will try to add the rubric at a later date. Only have the basic plan limits some features.
Directions: Today, you will take Unit 2 of the Grade 4 English Language Arts/Literacy Practice Test.
Read each passage and question. Then, follow the directions to answer each question. Mark your answers by completely filling in the circles in your answer document. Do not make any pencil marks outside of the circles.
If you need to change an answer, be sure to erase your first answer completely. One of the questions will ask you to write a response. Write your response in the space provided in your answer document.
Be sure to keep your response within the provided space. Only responses written within the provided space will be scored. If you do not know the answer to a question, you may go on to the next question.
If you finish early, you may review your answers and any questions you did not answer in this unit ONLY. Do not go past the stop sign.
