"Measuring Up has been a tremendous help to our teachers and students—so much so that the teacher will use it in more grades next year."

—	Rose Mary Mares, Principal

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

   Introduces the lesson content, taps prior skill knowledge, and lists the VA SOLs for the lesson
2. Guided Reading Instruction

3. Apply the VA SOLs
   Students practice applying VA SOLs knowledge as they read
4. Virginia SOL Assessment Practice
