Your students don't work an entire Countdown in one sitting, though. That's completely unnecessary and discouraged. Instead, they simply work one or two pages a day as a quick in-class exercise or homework assignment during the 10 weeks preceding the STAAR.

In just 15 to 30 minutes a day, five days a week, your students complete the equivalent of a long version STAAR.

That's powerful, especially if you opt to use all 7 series of the provided practice assessments.

Countdown to the Reading STAAR includes:

• 7 long version STAAR practice tests
• 60 + unique and varied stories
• 100% of the questions are to the current TEKS
• Quick Track tracking sheet
• Spanish versions available

Questions and Answers

Q: What do we get when we purchase a product from MathWarm-Ups.com?

A: You will receive one PDF master with copying rights per product for your grade. Our copyright license does not expire, so you can use our products year after year with no additional licensing cost. All products are in PDF format with the school name on each page.

Q: Why use MathWarm-Ups when I can use the TEA released tests?

A: Unfortunately, the TEA has released only a few tests and questions!

Q: How does Countdown work?

A: As a whole, Countdown is the equivalent of seven long version STAAR tests. You don't give a whole test at once, though. You simply give your students one or two pages a day for five days (checking it daily). By the end of the week your students have worked an entire test, and you have a whole-test assessment. Imagine repeating this cycle seven times over the weeks just before the STAAR!

Q: Is Countdown practice or assessment?

A: It's both. Your students practice the STAAR standards each day (five to eight different standards). You assess their degree of mastery at the end of each week.

Q: Why is Countdown more effective than other STAAR prep programs?

A: Think about the average STAAR practice book. What do you get? A hundred pages of STAAR material broken down by standard? Maybe two or three pre and post assessment tests? That's a good start, but the notorious data dump phenomenon comes into play. You may cover Recording category 1 in January, but by the time the actual test arrives, your students have forgotten some/much/all of what they reviewed in January. Countdown keeps the standards fresh by exposing students to all of the standards on a weekly basis.

Q: What is Quick Track?

A: This is a simple tracking sheet that students fill out after checking a page of Countdown with their teacher. With one quick glance, you'll know which STAAR standards a student has or hasn't mastered. Quick Track gives you, your teachers and resource professionals the data to make the decisions. Students love it!.

Q: Is Countdown to the Reading available in Spanish?

A: Absolutely! We newly released Countdown to RLA STAAR Spanish will be available 2023-24 school year but we will take pre-orders by June 2022.
