specifications. They use the same format and terms that will be
used on the summative test.
Slide 7
Purpose of WVDE Interim Resources Questions aligned and/or
written to Claims and Targets Gives students exposure to how the
questions will be written/standards be assessed Practice
opportunities to learn how to answer new question types, like
constructed response, select text, matching tables, etc.
