Grades 3–5 Practice at Home for Atlanta Families Before Spring Tests
Grades 3–5 Practice at Home for Atlanta Families Before Spring Tests
Atlanta parents who want grades 3–5 practice at home before spring testing can use the Grades 3–5 Test Prep Bundle: an ELA toolkit, a math toolkit with progress monitoring, daily ELA task cards and math warm-ups for Grades 3 and 4. It costs $64.99 and prints at home. It was written for teachers, so expect classroom-style pages rather than a parent guide.

The real problem
Why spring review at home matters this year in Atlanta
For many Atlanta Public Schools families, 2026-27 comes with a lot of moving parts. Under APS Forward 2040, the district's long-range facilities plan, the first school closures take effect in fall 2027. In September 2026 APS asked families for input on new attendance zones for the receiving welcoming schools, among them Cleveland Avenue, Continental Colony, Dunbar, F.L. Stanton and Peyton Forest elementary schools, with a board vote scheduled for December 7, 2026. Elementary classrooms also run under Georgia's Distraction Free Education Act, which keeps student phones stored from bell to bell. When a school year carries this much change, steady practice at home is one thing a parent can control. Homeschool families have their own reason to plan review. Georgia's home study rules call for a declaration of intent within 30 days of starting and by September 1 each year, the equivalent of 180 days at 4.5 hours a day, and a nationally standardized test at least every three years beginning at the end of grade 3. Results are not submitted, but parents keep an annual written progress report in each required subject. This is a summary, so check current law with the Georgia Department of Education or a homeschool legal resource.
Why it fits
What you get for review at the kitchen table
The parts are short and printable, which suits a fifteen-minute session after school.
- Daily ELA Practice task cards and morning work give one short task for each school day.
- Grade 3 and Grade 4 math warm-ups make a quick start before homework or dinner.
- The Math Test Prep & Assessment Toolkit includes progress monitoring you can keep in a folder.
- The ELA Test Prep & Assessment Toolkit gives longer practice for a weekend session.
- Homeschoolers preparing for the end-of-grade-3 test get structured review in reading and math.
- Pages print at home, so practice stays off screens, the same as school during the day.
Getting started
A ten-week home plan, as a suggestion
Adjust the pace to your child and your school's spring calendar. Ask the teacher for test dates.
- Week 1: a calm starting checkPick a few pages from each toolkit and do them together without a timer. Note what your child finds easy and what makes them stop. That list decides what you practice for the rest of the spring.
- Weeknights: one card, one warm-upOn school nights, do one Daily ELA Practice card and, for a third or fourth grader, one math warm-up page. Ten to fifteen minutes is plenty after a full school day.
- Saturdays: one toolkit sectionUse a quieter weekend morning for a longer section from one toolkit. Alternate ELA and math weeks so neither subject falls behind and your child knows what to expect.
- Every two weeks: look at progressUse the math toolkit's progress monitoring to see which skills improved. Show your child the change, since seeing progress on paper often does more for motivation than any reward.
- Share notes with the teacherBring a few finished pages to a conference or send a short note. APS teachers can tell you whether your focus matches class work. Homeschoolers can file the pages with their annual progress report.
What to buy
Picking the right bundle for your child
Choose the Grades 3–5 Test Prep Bundle at $64.99 (parts separately $104.95) if your goal is focused spring review in ELA and math. If you would rather have practice all year with a parent guide included, the 3rd Grade Practice Bundle at $59.99 adds the Math Made Easy parent guide, and the 4th Grade Practice Bundle at $69.99 includes English Made Easy plus fractions and area and perimeter units. For math units with more teaching in them, the Elementary Math Units Bundle costs $69.99 and already contains the same Math Test Prep & Assessment Toolkit.
Honest limits
What this bundle is not
It is not built on Georgia's ELA or math standards and it does not copy any state test, so check with your child's teacher or the standards for their grade if you want an exact match. It is written for teachers, so you read the directions and lead the session yourself. The math warm-ups stop at Grade 4. Science and social studies, also required for Georgia homeschoolers, are not included. It is licensed for your family's use. You can exchange it within 7 days for store credit of equal value if it does not suit you.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Does this follow Georgia's standards or the state test?
No. It is general Grades 3–5 review, not aligned to Georgia's ELA or mathematics standards and not tied to any specific state test. APS and the state have not reviewed it. For a close match, ask your child's teacher which skills are tested in their grade, and use the matching pages from the toolkits.
Can a parent without teaching experience use it?
Yes, with a little preparation. The materials are written for teachers, so read through a section yourself before you sit down with your child. If you want more explanation aimed at the parent, a grade practice bundle with a parent guide may suit you better.
We homeschool. Is this enough for the grade 3 test?
It gives structured ELA and math review, which helps before a standardized test. It is not a complete curriculum, and Georgia's home study rules also require science and social studies. Check current law with the Georgia Department of Education or a homeschool legal resource before planning your year.
My child is in fifth grade. Should I still buy it?
You would use both toolkits and the Daily ELA Practice cards. The math warm-ups are for Grades 3 and 4, so for a fifth grader they are quick review of earlier skills. If math is the main concern, compare the Elementary Math Units Bundle first.
Our school may change under APS Forward 2040. Does that matter?
Not for this bundle. It is a digital download stored in your customer account, so it stays with you if your child moves to a new school or attendance zone. The practice pages are not tied to any school, so you can keep the same routine through the change.
What if it is too hard or too easy?
Start with the pages that match your child's current grade, and use the earlier warm-ups for confidence. If the bundle clearly is not right, you can exchange it within 7 days for store credit of equal value. It is store credit, not a cash refund.
