Reading Comprehension and Interpretation
Annotate 20 expository passages (science and social studies topics) by underlining claims, circling transitions, and writing a margin summary for each paragraph.
Label the main idea, supporting details, and author's purpose for each of those 20 passages in one sentence apiece.
Categorize 15 common question stems (inference, vocabulary in context, author's tone, detail retrieval) and write the solving routine you will use for each.
Complete 30 untimed reading questions and record the cause of every miss (misread stem, wrong evidence, unknown word, ran out of time).
Your checkpoint
A reading error log with 30 coded entries plus a baseline score on a 20-question timed reading set.
Reading Comprehension and Interpretation & Mathematics
Summarize five 500-700 word passages in exactly three sentences within three minutes each.
Apply a context-clue procedure (definition, contrast, example, word parts) to 25 vocabulary-in-context items and justify each choice in writing.
Open a math error notebook and record 10 fully worked problems, showing every step and labeling each mistake type.
Solve 20 arithmetic and fraction operations without a calculator, showing all work and checking two answers per set.
Your checkpoint
A 25-question timed reading set scored at 75% or higher, plus a math notebook seeded with 10 corrected entries.
Mathematics
Solve 40 multi-step word problems involving ratios, proportions, and percents, writing units at every step.
Convert fluently among fractions, decimals, and percents for 30 values from memory, self-timed at two minutes.
Compute area, perimeter, and volume for 15 composite figures by decomposing each shape before calculating.
Explain each missed problem aloud in under one minute, stating the rule you misapplied and the fix.
Your checkpoint
A 20-item mixed math quiz scored at 80% or higher with a fully corrected error log.
Mathematics & Reading Comprehension and Interpretation
Interpret 10 tables, bar graphs, and line graphs, answering three questions per display about trends, extremes, and totals.
Solve 15 solve-for-x equation problems and verify each answer by substitution.
Restate the question in your own words before computing on 10 math word problems to reduce misreads.
Complete a 35-question timed math practice test and rework every missed item to a correct final answer.
Your checkpoint
A scored full-length math practice test (35 questions) with 100% of missed items reworked and annotated.
Writing
Draft three essays to prompt (opinion, informative, narrative) in 25 minutes each, using a five-minute planning outline first.
Revise each draft against a five-point checklist: thesis clarity, organization, transitions, word choice, and conventions.
Edit 20 sentences for subject-verb agreement, punctuation, pronoun reference, and run-ons, and name the rule broken in each.
Outline 10 prompts in five minutes apiece to build speed at planning before writing.
Your checkpoint
A portfolio of three revised essays with a self-scored rubric and a conventions quiz at 85% or higher.
Science and Social Studies
Build concept maps for 10 core science ideas (cells, ecosystems, matter, energy transfer, Earth systems) linking each term to two examples.
Sequence eight major historical eras and attach three key events or documents to each in a timeline.
Interpret 10 displays - maps, charts, political cartoons, and primary-source excerpts - and state the source's main claim in one sentence each.
Answer 40 mixed science and social studies questions and tag each miss by content area.
Your checkpoint
Two one-page concept maps and a 25-question Domain 4 quiz scored at 80% or higher.
Reading Comprehension and Interpretation & Writing
Write two evidence-based short responses that quote or paraphrase a passage accurately and cite the paragraph used.
Compose one timed 30-minute essay that integrates two sources, then score it against the same five-point checklist from Week 5.
Reread three earlier drafts and cut 10% of the words without losing meaning to sharpen concision.
Complete a 20-question reading set in 25 minutes and compare accuracy to the Week 2 baseline.
Your checkpoint
Two scored evidence-based responses and one timed integrated essay, with a written comparison of current versus Week 2 reading accuracy.
Mathematics & Science and Social Studies
Complete two full-length timed sections (one math, one science/social studies) under strict test conditions with no notes.
Re-drill the 15 highest-frequency error types from all four domains using the error logs.
Review the three essays and two short responses against the rubric and rewrite one weak paragraph to standard.
Build a one-page test-day sheet listing formulas, reading routines, and writing checklist items you must recall.
Your checkpoint
A full-length simulated test score report across all four domains plus a one-page test-day reference sheet.
Milestones
Week 2: Timed reading accuracy is 75% or higher and the math error notebook has at least 10 corrected entries.
Week 4: Math timed practice is 75% or higher and every missed item across Weeks 3-4 has been reworked to a correct answer.
Week 6: Domain 4 quiz is 80% or higher and three revised essays pass the five-point writing checklist.
Week 8: Full-length simulated test shows 75% or higher in all four domains, with no domain below 70%.
