Challenge of the Week
Learning how a test is formatted and understanding the content will help you ensure your learner feels confident and does well!
The CAASPP assessments are comprised of two components:
- CAT: Computer Adaptive Test for ELA and Math
- PT: Performance Task for ELA and Math
This week, we are taking a closer look at the ELA (English Language Arts) Performance Task. This section is typically more challenging and learners would benefit from having more time to explore the content of this portion.
For targeted practice, find your learner’s grade level and break the performance task parts down into manageable, bite-sized sessions to help them become familiarized with the format.
3rd Grade Performance Task/Example/Practice (Informational)
4th Grade Performance Task Example/Practice (Informational)
5th Grade Performance Task Example/Practice (Opinion)
6th Grade Performance Task Example/Practice (Narrative Writing)
7th Grade Performance Task Example/Practice (Explanatory Writing)
8th Grade Performance Task Example/Practice (Argumentative Writing)
11th Grade Performance Task Example/Practice (Argumentative Writing)
