Cliffsnotes Praxis Reading for Virginia Educators: Elementary and Special Education (5306), Paperback

Focusing on what entry level Virginia elementary and special education teachers need to be certified to teach, this test-prep guide includes targeted strategies for the selected-response and constructed-response questions, and reviews of every test specification a candidate will be tested on, including instructional process, assessment and diagnostic teaching, oral language and communication, reading development, and writing and research.

The two practice tests are full-length model exams that include answers and explanations to help candidates succeed when they take the test.
