2012 Iowa Achievement Testing Info

[Mary Beth Jones]

It's that time of year once again, and all students in grades 3-8 should begin studying and preparing for the Iowa achievement tests in April. There are several sources for preparation materials, www.amazon.com as well as the local homeschool consignment store, Roland, Inc. homeschoolbooks.shoprw.com/home.php
(see their website for afternoon hours and location)

This is what you need to order as soon as possible:

1. The SRA Iowa Test of Basic Skills prep books that they sell, titled SRA Scoring Higher Iowa tests of Basic Skills: A Test Prep program for ITBS
2. And it's key SRA Scoring High Teacher Materials/Key

Order or purchase the Grade level workbook that your student is in, as well as the answer key so that you can check their answers!

This studying needs to occur at home with you during evening homework time, but CIAS tutors may be able to coach as needed.
