MORE PSSA RESOURCES - (Things for K-2 too. :)

Hello Everyone,

As the end of February approaches, we find ourselves knocking on the door of PSSA testing.   Here are some more resources, many from school districts, that you can use to help you reinforce strategies and skills that have taught students since the beginning of the year.  Some tests within these resources repeat but there are many different sample items .    Also, refer back to the January post for PSSA Jeopardy games, sample items, and other activities and the December post for even more resources!
