Directions for Administering the TestsThe following directions are general instructions that can be used for all tests Instructions can be modified, based on how you choose to administer each test
Before You Administer a TestReview the test to familiarize yourself with its contents Make copies of the test for students and yourself The Diagnostic Pretest, the Midterm Test, the Posttest, and the Unit Tests each have listening passages that you can read aloud or you can use the program’s audio program If you choose to read a passage aloud, preview it before you administer the test, and have the appropriate passage(s) on hand during the listening section of the test Listening passages begin on page vii of this Assessment book Audio for the Listening passages can be found on the Digital Resources
When You Are Ready to Administer a TestMake sure students’ desks are cleared and that they have pens or pencils for marking their tests The Diagnostic Pretest, the Midterm Test, the Posttest, and the Unit Tests each have a writing prompt with lines for students’ responses You may wish to provide students with extra lined paper for planning or for additional space to write their responses Distribute copies of the test to students, and have students write their names on their tests Describe the contents of the test or the section of the test that you are administering Point out important features of the test, such as the directions, questions and items, answer choices, writing prompt, and Go On or Stop symbols Make sure students understand that they are to mark their answers by circling only one letter for each multiple-choice question and that they should write their response to a writing prompt on the lines below the prompt Answer any questions that students may have, and then start the test If you set a time limit for the test, tell students how much time they have for the test session and write the ending time on the board Give students a five-minute warning before you end the test session
The oral reading fluency section of the Diagnostic Pretest, Midterm, Posttest, and Unit Tests will need to be administered individually to each student You may choose to administer this section as students are completing the writing prompt
After the TestDirections for scoring the tests are on page xi Use the Answer Key and Tested Skills Charts that begin on page xiii to score each test Use the Writing Scoring Rubric on page xii to assess responses to writing prompts Use the Oral Reading Fluency Score Sheets to assess oral reading fluency The Answer Key and Tested Skills Charts can also help you determine students’ areas of strength and diagnose problem areas

Listening Passages
When conducting the Listening Comprehension portion of the Diagnostic Pretest, Midterm, Posttest, or Unit Test, you may read the appropriate listening passage aloud or have students listen to the audio Read or play each passage twice, and then pause for students to complete the questions Have students continue on to the next section of the test when they have finished answering
Diagnostic Pretest:Passage 1: Finders Keepers
“No! I found it! I’m keeping it!” Brad clutched the bill.“It’s not yours. It belongs to Mr. James, and you know it.” The anger on his sister’s face
told him she didn’t approve.“Mr. James has plenty of money. He doesn’t need it as much as I do.” Brad really wanted
the skateboard he had seen at the store. Every day he checked to make sure it was still there.
“But—” Brad looked up to see why she had stopped talking. There was Mr. James.“Hi, Mr. James,” Brad’s sister said. “Brad found the money you dropped. He was going to
your house to give it to you.”Mr. James smiled. “Well, well. Not many people are that honest. I’ll tell you what. You
can keep the money as a reward.”Brad couldn’t look at Mr. James. “Thanks,” he murmured. Suddenly the money didn’t feel
as if it were his anymore.
Passage 2: The Importance of Light
Light is an important part of our lives. Nonetheless, we don’t think much about it during the day, since it is always there. But light provided by the sun does more than simply allow us to see where we are going and to look at the world around us. Plants must have sunlight to grow. If we did not have the light that the sun provides, we would not have anything to eat. Because we want to be able to see even when there is no sunshine, we depend on artificial light provided by electricity. When there is a power outage and we have no electricity, we realize how much we depend on light to do almost everything we do. As a result, we arm ourselves with emergency light by using candles and battery-powered light devices such as flashlights and lamps during blackouts. We all realize that light is important in our lives.
Midterm Test:Passage 1: Old Man Smith
“What’s wrong with you? Come on! It’ll be fun!”But Jorge just stood there. He couldn’t do it.“It’s just old man Smith.” Michael and the others laughed.Jorge didn’t want them to know, but last week his mother made Mr. Smith a cake and
asked Jorge to deliver it. At first, Jorge hesitated. No one ever visited the old man, and Jorge certainly didn’t want to. But his mother wouldn’t understand. There was no point in arguing.
Mr. Smith invited him in. Not wanting to be rude, Jorge stepped inside. Mr. Smith was delighted with the cake and offered Jorge some. As they ate, Jorge realized Mr. Smith was

actually nice. He had even been friends with Jorge’s grandpa! Jorge planned to visit him again soon.
No, he wasn’t going to knock on old man Smith’s door and then hide. How could he do that to his new friend?
Passage 2: What Do You Mean?
Have you ever thought about how our vocabulary changes with time? When your grandparents were young and they talked about a mouse, they simply meant a small animal that was a nuisance in their house. But today, when you mention a mouse, you’re probably referring to the device that you use when you’re working at your computer. If someone told your grandparents they had mail, they would assume someone had gone to the mailbox outside the house or to the post office. But you would probably hurry to your computer to see who has e-mailed you. They probably chatted over the backyard fence with their neighbors, whereas you chat with your friends via the Internet. If their teacher told them to cut or paste a document, they would probably get out their scissors or their jar of paste. You would simply use the appropriate tools in your word-processing program.
Posttest:Passage 1: Waiting for the Right One
The puppy curled as far back in the cage as he could get. The more people looked at him, the smaller he seemed to become. A young woman squatted down and tapped gently on the cage. He scooted further back, if that was possible. One by one, people tried to get his attention. Each time they gave up and moved on to the other cages.
“Well,” sighed the caretaker of the animal shelter, “it looks as if he’s never going to leave here. He won’t give anyone a chance.”
Just then, a small boy rolled up in his wheelchair. For the first time that day, the puppy’s ears twitched. His tail started wagging. His head jerked up, and he barked the tiniest bark.
“Mommy, look! He’s the one I want!” squealed the boy.To the surprise of everyone around, the puppy bounded over to the boy, getting as close
as his cage would allow.
Passage 2: Feeling with the Heart
Songs and poems often describe giving your heart away or suffering from a broken heart. We often think of such things as beautiful fiction that have nothing to do with reality. However, some people actually feel pain in their chest, near where their heart is located, when they are extremely sad or upset. When we become excited or nervous, we can feel our heart rate speed up. Sometimes our heart feels as if it is going to pound outside our chest. We also feel our heart jump when we’re startled. Emotional stress and anger have been proven to trigger heart attacks. In contrast, when we are calm and feel that life is going well, our heart beats smoothly and we feel a gentle warmth in our chest. Believe it or not, some studies show that we can improve our health by focusing on pleasant things to help our heart beat slowly and smoothly.

Unit 1 TestPassage: Pet Therapy
People have pets for many reasons. Pets can serve as companions for people who live alone, as playmates for children, and as guides for people who are vision-impaired. Over the past few years, animals have also been used to help sick people get well. Pet therapy—also known as animal-assisted therapy—is used to help people recover from emotional problems as well as physical illnesses. Animals have a way of taking people’s minds off of their problems and somehow making them feel better. Their playful ways cheer people up and make them want to become more active. But animals also help people relax, lowering their blood pressure and heart rate. Even watching goldfish swim around in a bowl can be calming. Some people are close to no one and almost never get hugs. These people can find comfort in petting a cat or giving a dog a hug.
Unit 2 TestPassage: The Guest
“I can’t wait to see her!” Maria loved making new friends.Teresa was less enthusiastic. “What’s the big deal?” She frowned.“You’ll see. It’ll be fun.” Maria wouldn’t let Teresa change her mind.Teresa didn’t see how it could be fun to have a stranger come into their house and
live there for a year. She would have to share her room, her family, and her friends with this person she didn’t even know. She knew her parents—and probably even her grandmother—would treat Li like a queen. Where would that leave Teresa? What kind of name was “Li” anyway?
Maria couldn’t stop talking. “Li! What a pretty name! I wonder how many languages she knows. I wonder if we’ll have trouble understanding her. Maybe she can teach us her language!”
Teresa scowled. One language was all anybody needed to know, as far as she was concerned.
Unit 3 TestPassage: Cell Phones
Many of us use cell phones, but few of us really understand how they work. These phones transmit radio waves to cellular towers. The cell, or the area that a tower covers, may range from less than two miles to more than thirty miles. The towers in a cell connect to a central facility, called a Mobile Telephone Switching Office. They make this connection by wire, cable, or microwave. In an ideal situation, cells overlap so that service is uninterrupted as a cell phone user travels from cell to cell. However, if the user is in an area where no cell exists, then the user cannot make or receive calls. Cell phone companies continue to build towers so that they can offer their customers service in as many areas as possible. The company that offers the most coverage is likely to be the most successful.

Unit 4 TestPassage: Athena’s Dilemma
Athena had no doubt about what she had just seen. Roberto took some money from the cash drawer while Mr. Arturo helped a customer. What should she do? If she told, Roberto would say she was a snitch, and maybe he’d be right. But if she didn’t tell, then she would be as guilty as Roberto.
She had known Roberto since kindergarten. She liked him, although they’d never been close. Now that they were in high school, they didn’t even have the same friends. About the only time they talked was when they worked the same hours at the store.
She knew Roberto’s family had little money, so maybe he had a good reason for taking the money. She had almost decided to give him the benefit of the doubt, when suddenly her mother’s words came into her head: “There’s never a good reason for taking what is not yours.” Athena knew what she had to do.
Unit 5 TestPassage: Camouflage
Have you heard people say “I wanted to fade into the woodwork” when they wished no one could see them? We call someone whom nobody notices a “wallflower.” It’s as if they are camouflaged. Another example of camouflage is the clothing that soldiers wear when they don’t want the enemy to see them. They wear green, gray, and brown uniforms to blend in with the vegetation. Military vehicles are painted these colors for the same reason. Also, hunters wear camouflage so that animals cannot see them.
Man got the idea for camouflage from animals. The brownish hair of deer and squirrels matches the woods where they live. Sharks and dolphins are bluish-gray, like the water around them. The fur of the Arctic Fox is brown, like dirt, in the summer, but it turns white, like snow, in the winter. The world is full of people and animals that fade into the background with the use of camouflage.
Unit 6 TestPassage: The Invitation
“It’s a simple question. So what’s your answer?” Sharisa stared hard at Janeel, her hands on her hips.
Sharisa was right. It shouldn’t have been complicated. Either she was going to the party or she wasn’t. But it wasn’t an easy decision for Janeel. The party was at Chris’s house. Her parents knew Chris, so they would say yes. But his parents weren’t going to be there, and Janeel knew they hadn’t told him he could invite twenty kids to his house while they were gone. Janeel knew what some of those people would bring with them.
“I don’t know yet. I’ll have to see what Mom and Dad have planned.”Sharisa snorted. “Yeah, right! I heard your Dad say he couldn’t wait to watch Saturday
night’s game on TV! So what’s your problem? Everybody’s going to be there!”Not everybody, Janeel thought, but she didn’t say anything.

Scoring the Tests
Use the Answer Key and Tested Skills Charts that begin on page xiii of this Assessment book, the Writing Scoring Rubric on page xii, and the Oral Reading Fluency Score Sheet within each test to help you score students’ tests. To score a test, follow these steps:
1. Find the appropriate Answer Key and Tested Skills Chart for the test to be scored. Make a copy of this chart for each student. Write the student’s name at the top of the chart.
2. Check the student’s answer for each multiple-choice item against the correct answer listed on the chart. Circle the student’s score for each multiple-choice item on the chart. Award 1 point for each correct answer and 0 points for any incorrect answers.
3. The Diagnostic Pretest, the Midterm Test, the Posttest, and the Unit Tests each have a writing prompt and an oral fluency check in addition to multiple-choice questions. Use the Writing Scoring Rubric on page xii of this Assessment book to assess the student’s response to the prompt. Award the student a score from 0 to 10 points for the response, and circle that score on the chart. For the oral reading fluency check, it is suggested that you time the student. You may wish to set a time limit of one minute and record how many words the student has read, or record the student’s time after he or she has completed the entire passage. Using the page provided, you may mark the text in regards to hesitation or pauses, accuracy, expression, intonation, and self-correction. Then use the Oral Reading Fluency Score Sheet to award the student a score. A copy of the score sheet may be given to the student.
4. Use the formula below the chart to help you calculate a percent score for each test. Add the points circled to find the student’s total score for the test and mark that total in the first blank in the formula. Then divide the total score by the total number of possible points that a student could earn on the test. Finally, multiply the quotient by 100 to get a percent score for the test.
Interpreting Test ResultsA student’s percent score on a test provides only one measurement of the student’s progress and should be interpreted along with other assessments and observations. Students with consistently high scores may need more challenging assignments. Students with consistently low scores probably need a closer review of their progress and perhaps additional instruction and practice.
Use the student’s completed Answer Key and Tested Skills Chart as a diagnostic tool. Each test item has been linked to a tested skill and to the relevant standard. Review the tested skills and assessed standards for the items the student answers correctly as well as for the items answered incorrectly. Look for patterns in the tested skills or assessed standards that indicate the student’s strengths, as well as areas where the student may require additional instruction and practice. Use the following resources as needed to provide students with instruction, practice, or support.
• Student Edition • Reader+
• Teacher’s Edition • Teacher’s Resource Book
• Audio • Video Documentary
• Workbook • Worksheets• Reader’s Companion

Writing Scoring Rubric
Use the following rubric to help you assess students’ responses to the writing prompts in the Diagnostic Pretest, the Midterm Test, the Posttest, and the Unit Tests Each response should receive a score from 0 to 10 points, with 10 points being the highest score
Score Criteria
10 The composition as a whole is focused, well organized, and complete. It shows fresh insight into the writing task. Ideas flow in a logical order, and transitions are used effectively. The writing is marked by a sense of completeness and coherence. A main idea is fully developed, and support is specific and substantial. The writing voice is clear and lively. A mature command of the language is evident in the student’s choice of words. Sentence structure is varied, and the writing is free of fragments. Virtually no errors in writing conventions appear.
8 The composition is focused on the task and complete, but the organization could be improved. Ideas flow logically, but the composition may also include some repetition or contain some ideas that are less developed than others. A main idea is well developed and supported with relevant detail. The student chooses precise words and has a clear voice. Sentence structure is varied, and the writing is free of fragments. Any errors in writing conventions are minor and do not impair the fluency of the writing.
6 The composition is focused on the task, but unrelated material sometimes intrudes. Occasionally, the writing shifts suddenly from idea to idea without a smooth transition, but the relationships between ideas remain clear. A clear organizational pattern is present, though lapses occur. The writing may also include irrelevant information, repetition, gaps in ideas, or lists of undeveloped ideas. A main idea is adequately supported, but development may be uneven. Sentence structure is free of fragments but usually lacks variation. The student demonstrates a limited command of writing conventions. Errors in spelling and punctuation may not obscure meaning but do weaken the overall fluency of the composition.
4 The composition is focused on the task, but unrelated material intrudes. Some organization is evident, but the writing lacks a logical progression of ideas. The composition shifts suddenly from idea to idea without a logical or smooth transition. Support for the main idea is present but is sometimes illogical. Sentence structure is free of fragments, but there is almost no sentence variety. The student’s choice of words is sometimes inappropriate for the topic or audience, and the writing voice is unclear or inconsistent. The composition demonstrates some knowledge of writing conventions, with misspellings.
2 The composition has a weak connection to the task. It lacks focus or organization. The writing is fragmented, with no clear main idea. The writing voice does not convey the student’s feelings or ideas. Sentence structure is unvaried, and serious errors appear. Poor choice of words and poor command of the language obscure meaning. Errors in writing conventions and spelling are frequent.
0 The composition is unrelated to the task or is simply a rewording of the prompt. It is copied from a published work, or it is illegible. The words in the response are not arranged in a meaningful way. There may be no response or an insufficient amount of writing to score.

It’s a Beautiful Life
She obviously didn’t care that the sun shone directly in her eyes.
She seemed to soak it up. Because of the creases in her leathery skin,
I couldn’t tell if she was smiling or squinting.
Irritated, I wiped the sweat from my face the millionth time that
afternoon. I plopped next to her on the bench. “This is horrible! It’s too
hot! I can’t stand it!”
Slowly she turned. Her sharp eyes seemed to pierce through me, but
she wasn’t angry or even impatient. I sensed her calmness.
“Honey, there’s nothing horrible about it. Look around you.” With
her crooked finger, she pointed. “Have you ever seen anything bluer
than that sky? Greener than this grass? Prettier than those flowers?”
She took a deep breath. “Is there anything more wonderful that being
alive right here, right now?”
Suddenly, it didn’t seem so horribly hot anymore. She was right.
It was beautiful.

For centuries, people have dreamed of traveling to other planets.
Space travel may become a reality in the near future, but some trips to
other planets would take a very long time. If we traveled 600 miles an
hour in a jet, it would take us a little over 690 years to reach Pluto. That
same trip in a rocket that was traveling 25,000 miles an hour would
take us about sixteen and a half years. It takes light five hours and
twenty-five minutes to travel that distance.
It is interesting to consider how long it takes light to travel to the
Earth. It takes sunlight 8.5 minutes to travel to the Earth; in other
words, the sunlight is already 8.5 minutes old by the time it reaches us.
The sunlight that is reflected from Saturn is over a year old by the time
we see it. When we look at Sirius, we are seeing it as it looked over eight
years ago, since it took that long for the light to reach Earth.
13. Traveling in a jet to Pluto would take .
A. hoursB. daysC. monthsD. years
14. When we look at Sirius, we are seeing it as it looked .A. at the present timeB. over eight years ago C. 8.5 minutes ago D. 690 years ago
15. Which of the following summarizes the passage?A. Space travel will be easy and
affordable in the very near future.B. It will always be impossible to travel
as far as Pluto.C. Travel from the Earth to planets and
galaxies would take a long time.D. Even from the longest distance, it
does not take light long to reach Earth.

“It will be all right,” Mama said soothingly. “You’ll see.”
Jasmine wanted to believe her mother. But moving
away from the home and friends that she had known all her life
wasn’t easy. She knew her parents didn’t want to move any
more than she did. But Dad was never going to get out of debt
if he didn’t earn more money, and he was constantly
concerned that the factory would close. Jasmine’s parents told
her it was just a rumor, but she knew they worried about what
would happen if it did close. But now they wouldn’t have to
worry about it.
“Change can be good, honey. We just have to make the
most of it.” Jasmine wanted to believe Mama. But all the
comforting words in the world couldn’t stop the tears from
flowing down her cheeks as she looked out the car window
until the house disappeared behind them.

“Yes, sir.” Prasad looked up at his father. “I didn’t know what else to
do.”

War Dogs
For as long as there have been wars, war dogs have been used in
different capacities. Dogs were used by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks,
Persians, and many other civilizations. Dogs continue to be used today
by militaries around the world as scouts, guards, and trackers and are
even trained for battle.
Different breeds have been used for different purposes. In ancient
times, large breeds would wear armor or spikes and be sent into battle.
Today it is more common to see dogs, often German shepherds, doing
jobs that are too dangerous or difficult for humans, such as crawling
through spaces too small for a human. We see dogs doing the same
kind of work after disasters such as earthquakes.
Dogs typically are partnered with one person known as their
handler. This very close relationship is critical for the success of the
dog. These relationships sometimes continue after the dog’s working
life is finished, or the dogs are adopted or used as therapy animals.
13. War dogs in ancient civilizations were .
A. trained for different jobs and abilities
B. used by only a few wealthy empiresC. much more common than todayD. not specifically trained for battle
14. Some trainers believe German shepherds are .A. too dangerous and difficult for
humans to handleB. very good at replacing humans in
certain workC. the best dogs to arm and send into
battle D. the only dogs used in disaster
rescue work
15. Dogs are good in rescue operations because .A. they are very friendly in an
emergencyB. they need very little food or water
to surviveC. they have no sense of fear or dangerD. they can do things humans cannot

You may have said it yourself when you have a great idea, “a light
bulb turned on.” But have you ever wondered where the expression
came from? To trace the origin of the light bulb as a symbol of
ingenuity, you’d have to travel back in time to the late 1880s. At that
time, people lit their homes at night with only candles, torches, and gas
lamps. Using fire to create light could be quite dangerous. For 50 years,
scientists and inventors had been trying to create a light bulb that was
powered by heat, and not fire.
Enter Thomas Edison, a mostly self-taught inventor and businessman,
who devoted himself to finding a safe, inexpensive, and long-lasting
incandescent light bulb. While previous inventors had made great
strides, it was Edison who expanded on their ideas to make it happen.
And it was Edison who developed the first electric network, bringing
electric light to the masses.

Most plants produce new plants from seeds. A seed is like a tiny
package. It contains the beginning of a very young plant inside a
protective covering.
A seed has three important parts—an embryo, stored food, and a
seed coat. The embryo contains the basic parts from which a young
plant will develop—roots, stems, and leaves. Stored food keeps the
young plant alive until it can make its own food through
photosynthesis. Seeds contain one or two seed leaves, called
cotyledons. In some plants, food is stored in the cotyledons.
The outer protective covering of a seed is called the seed coat.
The seed coat is like a plastic wrap; it protects the embryo and stored
food from drying out. This protection is necessary because a seed may
be inactive—may not begin to grow—for weeks, months, or even years.
Then, when conditions are right, the embryo inside a seed
suddenly becomes active and begins to grow. The time when the
embryo first begins to grow is called germination.

Iván Fernández Anaya is an international running champion. His
proudest moment, however, may be the time he gave up an easy win to
take second place instead. In December 2012, the Spanish runner was
trailing behind Kenyan Olympic bronze medalist Abel Mutai during a
cross-country race in Burlada, Spain. First-place Mutai had a big lead
until, thinking the race was over, he stopped 10 to 20 meters short of
the finish line. It was a blunder that could cost him the race.
Behind Mutai, Fernández Anaya, 24, was confused by what he saw.
Why had Mutai stopped short of the finish line? He quickly realized
that Mutai, who could not speak Spanish, had misidentified the finish
line, and he could not understand the spectators who were urging him
on to finish.

What is mindfulness exactly? It’s a heightened state of awareness.
When you’re mindful, you’re focused on what’s happening in the
present moment. This focus can help you pay close attention to your
body, including your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. There are
different ways to tap into this state, such as practicing mediation or
doing yoga.
How does mindfulness affect your heart? Picture this: You’re reading
a book while having lunch. You’re not paying attention to your food
or how your body feels in the moment. So, it’s easy to eat too much.
But if you’re mindful, you’ll stop when your body feels full. People
who practice mindfulness are more likely to exercise and eat right.
They’re also less likely to engage in harmful behavior. All of this can
help your heart.

One of the first questions the younger Sugihara is asked during
his lectures is why an obedient Japanese diplomat would take such a
risk to himself and his family to help strangers.
Said Akabori, the Sacramento librarian: “I believe it was deeply
rooted in the Japanese spirit called ‘bushido,’ which means reaching the
highest level of physical, mental, and spiritual attainment. When you
think something is right you do it, without worrying about yourself.”
After all, she said Sugihara’s family is descended from Samurai, the
ancient warrior caste to whom honor came before money or personal
safety.
The younger Sugihara credited that explanation, saying, “When he was
growing up, he was taught that code. You have to sacrifice yourself to
help somebody else.”
The elder Sugihara, in a speech in 1985, a year before he died,
put it more simply: “It is the kind of sentiment anyone would have
when he actually sees the refugees face to face, begging with tears in
their eyes.”
“He just cannot help but sympathize with them.”

Bats. To some people, this word means scary, ugly, disease-
carrying creatures that are almost blind and sometimes fly into and
become entangled in women’s hair. These are make-believe bats. Real
bats are quite different.
Bats make up nearly a quarter of all mammals on earth and live
on all continents except Antarctica. They are the only mammals that
fly. “Just as dolphins have mastered the sea,” says Merlin Tuttle, “bats
have mastered the sky.”
There are two main groups of bats. About two hundred
species—the megabats—are large, fruit-eating bats called flying foxes.
They live in the tropics of Asia and Africa. Some have wingspans of
nearly six feet, and others fly about in the daytime, not at night. Flying
foxes have big eyes and see very well.
Nearly eight hundred species of small, insect-eating bats make
up the second group—the microbats—with forty-two kinds living in
Canada and the United States. The smallest mammal on earth is a bat:
the bumblebee bat of Thailand. It weighs less than a penny.
