— Rose Mary Mares, Principal
   

To ensure mastery, there are four parts to every Measuring Up lesson:

  1. Focus on Pennsylvania Academic Standards
    Introduces the lesson content, taps prior skill knowledge, and lists the Pennsylvania Academic Standards for the lesson
  2. Guided Reading Instruction
    Shows how to apply Pennsylvania Academic Standards skills and strategies to reading selections and includes Guided Questions that focus a student's attention
  3. Apply the Pennsylvania Academic Standards
    Students practice applying Pennsylvania Academic Standards knowledge as they read
  4. PSSA Practice
    Wraps up each lesson with questions that mimic the PSSA format

Building Stamina™ sections

Flexible design allows you to focus on Pennsylvania Academic Standards identified in each students' Personal Prescriptive Path (P3), select lessons that best supplement your basal text, or make Measuring Up® your primary text for comprehensive instruction and review.

  • Allows time for instruction by using short reading selections
  • Builds test-taking confidence with assessments that mimic the PSSA
