This is a nice opportunity to work with your Literacy Coach to develop a unit to support your students’ needs.  Based on your students' needs, you may want to use suggestions from the Mini-Units section on page 2 of your grade level curriculum calendar or one of the units from the If-Then book from the Reading Workshop.  During this time, you may also decide to teach a mini-unit entitled, Strategies for Test-Taking.  This is an explicit way to teach students how to apply all that they have learned about reading and writing various genres and text types to formal testing situations.  This can be integrated periodically across the year, once a week in February and March, or as a mini-unit in early March.
