Both Kansas and Washington have a state music curriculum called Music Progressions. This year, KMTA asked me to compose some original sight reading pieces for levels 1-6. I have done this and 2010 tests will include these revised pieces.
I decided that now might be a good time to write some practice sight reading pieces as has been requested by many teachers in the past. Of course, the advantage of this is that I know exactly what the “real” sight reading pieces will be like and was able to compose in a similar style for the practice sight reading.
This item, called Sight Reading Practice Pieces, contains 2 pieces per levels 1-6, for a total of 12 pieces. Each piece is reproducible from year to year in your studio for your students. Since this is a PDF, the file will also allow you to print just what you need from year to year. You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader to see the files. If you can see this Rhythm Drill then you know you will be able to open the pdf files. If you cannot see the file, they you need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader which will enable you to see all files on this site!
You can order these tests directly from this post. Please let me know if you have any questions!
