If you use Journey's you know how long the weekly skills tests can be and how much paper they can use up. I typed out and modified the weekly skills tests so that they were comprehensive enough to make sure students mastered all of the necessary skills. Each test includes: 4 Vocabulary and/or vocabulary strategy questions, 6 comprehension questions, and 5 phonics and grammar questions each. Some questions have been modified so that students are successful and aren't tricked by bad question format. If you have any questions, please let me know.

The tri-folds are great to use as a seat work or in small groups. Each tri-fold is 2 pages long, I copy them f/b. Sometimes you do have to play around with the settings of your printer to get them to print exactly even. Even when they are not 100% even, they are still very visually appealing and easy for kids to use. I will be going back to upload each units tri-folds as a package. *PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED THESE READING UNITS. THEY ARE ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE FULL READING UNITS.*
