Some Test Prep Ideas (That Could Be Fun!)

I'm hoping that, regardless of what assessment you're prepping for, there are some ideas in this post that could help-- maybe you'll find ideas even if there's NO test to prep for! I also hope that these ideas feel less about test prep and more about purposeful play and practice for students to become better writers and overall learners. Prep, play, and practice don't have to be mutually exclusive.
