In this episode:
            I talk about the what, why and how to leverage your small group time as part of your test prep strategy.
We talk about:
1.What test prep should look like during your upper elementary literacy block.
2. Why leveraging small group instruction should be a part of your test prep strategy.
3.How to incorporate small group instruction into your test prep strategy using 3 simple steps.
Quotables:
-Upper elementary students are just like us, if they think they already know how to do something they check out, if they are bored with the material or the presentation of the material they check out. 
-Small group test prep helps you monitor student engagement, address test anxiety, and tailor instruction to what your upper elementary students need most. 
-Both standardized and anecdotal data should help you plan for what skills students need  help reviewing during small group instruction.
