Your students don't work an entire Gauntlet 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.

The Reading Gauntlet includes 12 series of compositions and questions and 10 series of writing. In each series, there is one question for every testable TEKS in that grade level. This is a stand alone product but can be used with the Countdown to the Reading or Reading Fast Focus for an even more powerful assessment and practice.

That's powerful, especially if you opt to use all 12 of the provided practice assessments.

Reading Gauntlet includes:

• 12 series of STAAR practice questions; 10 series of writing
• 45-48 unique and varied compositions
• 100% of the questions are to the current 2019-20 TEKS
• 10 series of STAAR Writing Supplement
• 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 one test!

Q: How does Reading Gauntlet work?

A: As a whole, Gauntlet is the equivalent of twelve practice reading assessments. You don't give a whole series 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 series, one question for each testable TEKS, and you have a TEKS assessment. Imagine repeating this cycle ten times over the weeks just before the STAAR!

Q: Is Gauntlet 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 Gauntlet 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 assessments? 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 Gauntlet 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 Reading Gauntlet Plus Writing available in Spanish?

A: Yes. The Reading Gauntlet Plus Writing is available in Spanish for grades 3-5.
