Break down extended response questions. Since the questions will be online, it is difficult to translate the write "1" and cross it out. For our older students, I have prepped them to use the "NOTE" part of the AIR test and open it and write down a list of everything that is expected of them as they read through the question prompt.

You can create assessments that look like the AIR assessment. You can have students practice highlighting text, selecting multiple answers, manipulating text, reading multiple texts, etc. You can pick through a bunch of assessments that are already created for you.

Readworks has excellent, cross-cirrucular non-fiction stories which hit on terminology development and application, map interpretations, writing development, etc. for all four subjects.

I think it is important to give students synonymous terms for "heavy hitter words" aka- Theme : Moral, Lesson, Message- Main Idea:  Central Idea, Thesis statement..... etc.

You can use quizlet to find a set of words that match those "heavy hitter words" where students will be grouped and play a game that races the other groups to match the words with their meanings. I like to have the students play a few times by regrouping them so they all have a chance to recall the terms and help their team win.
