Testing can be stressful. Next Generation ELAP familiarizes students with the format and item types of the New York State ELA Test so they’re confident and ready to show what they know. Student scores help you identify and address learning gaps.
Student Booklets
Booklets follow the specifications outlined in the NYS Testing Program 2023 Educator Guide:
- Aligned to the New York State Next Generation English Language Arts Learning Standards
- Mirror the ELA assessment in:
- types of questions
- numbers of passages and questions
- scoring framework
- text types: authentic literary and informational
- focus on close reading
- two sessions
Two parallel test booklets per grade—Form A and Form B—can be used as a pretest and a posttest.
