MAPS Reading & Language

MAPS Skills practice:  Take these practice quizzes in the order listed.  Be sure you read the feedback when you check your answers so that you learn what you didn't already know.  That's the purpose of taking these quizzes.  There are lessons you can read if you did poorly, or before you take the quizzes. 

In section 2 of your Language Arts spiral, make a chart like this and fill it out each time you take a quiz.
