Here you will find a collection of passages we have gathered from past standardized tests. These passages come from a variety of tests and states that we believe will support test preparation across the genres and grade levels.

These passages can be used alongside The Reading & Writing Project at Mossflower 2024 Test Prep Units, or as a standalone resource. The Test Prep Units are available to partner schools that receive on-site professional development. If you are interested in receiving professional development contact us here.

For Reading Test Prep we recommend 3 weeks: week 1 focusing on narrative, week 2 focusing on narrative NF, week 3 informational texts.

On Day 1 of each bend focus on shared experience. Please see the unit and the padlet below to access the passage for whole class teaching.

On Day 2 and 3, focus on leading a more traditional reading workshop: reading test prep mini-lesson, having students practice on a passage, share.

*Note: the mini-lessons you can choose from are in the test prep unit. The test prep unit is located in the TC Toolkit.

*The student practice passages are located in the second padlet below this note.
