3 TCAP Reading and Language Arts Performance Indicator The TCAP Reading and Language Arts Performance Indicator practice tests are designed to help students prepare for the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) in Reading and Language Arts. There are two forms of the TCAP Reading and Language Arts Performance Indicator available. They are parallel forms that can be administered before and after instruction or at any time during the school year. The TCAP Finish Line Reading and Language Arts Workbook, Grade 5 provides a complete sequence of instruction in the assessed State Performance Indicators of the Tennessee English Language Arts Standards. The workbook includes guided and independent practices for each reading skill. A list of assessed standards is available at the back of this guide. The TCAP Reading and Language Arts Performance Indicator, Grade 5 is divided into two sessions. The sessions should be administered on two consecutive days. Both sessions contain reading selections followed by multiple-choice questions. Session 1 also contains at least one short-response item for each passage. Each multiple-choice question has four answer choices, one of which is the correct answer. Students should circle the letter of the best answer. Students should answer the shortresponse questions in their own writing in the booklet. This teacher s guide includes suggestions for using these test preparation materials, directions for administering the practice test, an answer key, correlations to the Tennessee State Performance Indicators, a scoring rubric, a class profile chart for the multiple-choice questions, and a proficiency chart for the short-response questions. The chart below provides a sample timetable for administering the Grade 5 Reading and Language Arts Performance Indicator practice test. Session 1 5 reading passages 33 multiple-choice questions 6 short-response questions 60 minutes, plus an additional 10 minutes for preparation Session 2 10 reading passages 38 multiple-choice questions 50 minutes, plus an additional 10 minutes for preparation TCAP Reading and Language Arts Performance Indicator Form 5A 3
4 Session 1 Using Your Performance Indicator Reading tests are usually given in multiple sessions. You will probably want your students to work with the TCAP Performance Indicator practice tests in the same way. In addition, schedule a review session as close as possible to the completion of the test. This will enable you to go over the students answers while the contents are still fresh in their minds. Be sure to consider with students ways in which their comprehension and written responses could be improved. Directions for using each booklet begin below. Those that you will read aloud to the class are in boldface type and preceded by the word SAY; those that are not meant to be read aloud are in regular type. The directions that follow instruct the students to write their answers in the test booklets. If you prefer to use a separate answer sheet for the multiple-choice and/or short-response questions, reproduce the answer sheets on pages 8 10 of this guide. Remind students to write their name on the answer sheets. Then instruct them on how to fill in the circles clearly. Allow 60 minutes for this first session. Make sure each student has a Form A booklet, two No. 2 pencils, and optional answer sheets, if you are using them. SAY Turn to the inside front cover of the booklet and write your name on the line provided. For Session 1, you will have 60 minutes to read all the passages carefully and answer the 39 questions about what you have read. Check to be sure students have written their names on the inside front cover of their booklets. Explain to the students that they should read each multiple-choice question and all four answers carefully before circling the letter of the best answer. For the short-response questions, remind students to write directly in the booklet and answer the question completely. Then take the time to answer any questions the students may have. SAY Open your booklets to page 3. Read, or have a volunteer read, the directions. SAY I am now writing the time on the chalkboard. Remember that you have 60 minutes to work on Session 1. Continue working until you reach the word Stop on page 20. If you finish early, review your work and sit quietly until the time is up. Do not look ahead at the other session. Now turn to page 4 and begin. Check to be sure students have begun working on the booklet correctly. After 50 minutes, alert the students to the time left. SAY There are 10 minutes left for you to complete Session 1. If you finish page 20 before the time is up, be sure to go back and check your answers. When time is up, alert the class. SAY Time s up.
