This is a 96-page set of test materials to go along with the WonderWorks Interactive Worktext (McGraw-Hill) for grade two.

Note that these worksheets go along with the 1st edition published in 2013 with ISBN 0021297940. Please verify that you have the same edition before purchasing this product.

Part of the goal in creating these test materials is to help students prepare for standardized tests. When students take standardized tests, they often struggle with text-dependent questions because they have not had much practice with these types of questions. The text-dependent questions included in this set of test materials are quite challenging and require careful consideration within the context of each story.

For each week in the Interactive Worktext, there are two weekly tests:

* page 1: comprehension questions (multiple choice), vocabulary, paragraph writing

* page 2: text-dependent questions (multiple choice)

After each unit, there are six pages of unit test materials:

* page 1: comprehension questions (multiple choice)

* page 2: vocabulary, paragraph writing, true-false

* page 3 - page 5: text dependent questions (multiple choice)

* page 6: paragraph writing

There is also an answer key included at the end of the file.
