There is a practice link in WIDA.
Yes, I have done the practice exercises on the website. What else can we do?
I was told that we cannot officially get students ready for this test.
At this point I think practicing the discourse/organization part of speaking and writing portions are important-restructuring question into topic sentence, supporting with details and conclusion. It’s important to give theme practice on head sets-I use Flipgrid or Twisted wave to record and then upload onto Google Classroom. For reading, I always teach test-taking strategies, such as re-reading the question, eliminating wrong answers, etc.
I usually just remind my students of expectations. Correct punctuation. Getting your point across with detail. Speaking loudly and clearly.
Reminding them they cant go back. When speaking, think out what you want to say before hitting the record button. Using the sample as an example of what is expected.
You can use practice and samples more than. Once. I have done it on a smart board, walking through expectations. Especially for those new to the test.
