The objective of our California SBAC Test Prep book for 3rd graders is to provide students, educators, and parents with practice materials focused on the core skills needed to help students succeed on the Smarter Balanced assessment for Grade 3 in 2018-19.

A student will fare better on a test when s/he has practiced and mastered the skills measured by the assessment. A student also excels when s/he is familiar with the format and structure of the test. This book helps students do both. Students can review key material by standard through doing the skill-building exercises, as well as take SBAC practice tests to become accustomed to how the content is presented and to enhance test-taking skills. By test day, students will feel confident and be adequately prepared to do his or her best.

CAASPP English Language Arts (ELA) Test / Third Grade SBAC ELA Reading Test

In California, the Smarter Balanced (SBAC) summative assessments are administered as part of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System. This system is based on the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics. In California, the SBAC assessments are given in grades three through eight and eleven for ELA and mathematics.

The grade 3 SBAC ELA test determines if students have mastered third grade Common Core english language arts and literacy standards, and makes sure that they are getting ready for fourth grade.
