48-page NED Testing Lesson Plans & Classroom Resources

Hi, I’m NED from The NED Show. I like talking to kids about positive behavior and character traits. To relax, I make free lessons and resources for teachers.

My older daughter is in her first year of taking the STAAR standardized test in Texas (which begins in 3rd grade) and now has weekly homework assignments so The NED Show resources came into our life at the perfect time!

What is The NED Show?

Glad you asked!

About The NED Show: Working with schools since 1989, All for KIDZ, Inc., producers of The NED Show, is committed to Promoting Academic Achievement through Character Development®. They have seen more than 25 million students and will visit more than 6,000 schools this year to provide resources for schools.

NED test preparation resources provides foundational teachings from two assembly performances that they offer: NED’s Mindset Mission and NED’s Kindness Adventure. NED has updated their assembly offerings for the new 2018-19 school year, and that’s involved a change to the name “The NED Shows” and a new website to accompany that: www.thenedshows.com. The assembly and site www.mindsetmission.com is also new for this year. A link to the assemblies and all the totally free resources are hosted there!

Since 2013, The NED Show has provided free resources to help schools set the tone for testing. “NED’s Testing Tips Worksheet” actively engages students in test preparation. Students can color in each testing tip and fill in specific ways that they can prepare for their big day. Teachers can decorate classrooms with “NED’s Testing Tips,” a printable bulletin board kit. The “Testing Reminder for Parents” is a letter template to parents as a reminder of their child’s upcoming test day. Easily customize PDFs by typing in specific test day details into the top half. The bottom half has tips for parents and includes tear-off encouragement cards that parents can send along with their child on their big day.

Additional free teacher resources are available at The NED Show website!
