- Comprehensive and Powerful Test Preparation. The text covers case studies, constructed response essays, and multiple-choice strategies not found in any other preparation book, along with carefully constructed time-management models that show candidates how to reach the passing scores for their particular reading-instruction test.
- Valid and Aligned Reading-Instruction Content. The core reading-instruction content assessed on these exams has been identified and validated through separate explorations, making the information from this book easily transferrable to any NES test of elementary reading instruction.
- Genuine Strategies and Time-Management Methods. All of the case study, constructed-response, multiple-choice, and time-management methods have been field tested with groups of real students facing real exams and subsequently refined to ensure validity and ease in acquisition/application.
- Sound Study Plans. A 30-day study plan included in the text will guide students from their first day of study to the day of the exam. In addition, the study plan includes a powerful format for learning the state reading-insruction standards, along with the core model of reading instruction. The study plan is flexible and can be adapted to any student's individual schedule or modified to accommodate quarter, trimester, or semester class schedules.
- Accessibility. The text and its methods, strategies, and content require no special capabilities on the part of the candidate to prepare for these exams beyond the basic ability to apply oneself and study. Simplicity, effectiveness, alignment, and ease in acquisition/application are the strongest points of this text.
