Standardized tests like end-of-grade (EOG) assessments often contain academic and domain-specific vocabulary (Tier 2 and Tier 3 words) that can be challenging for students. Large language models and chatbots present an opportunity for educators to quickly and easily scan released EOG exams to generate study guides and glossaries focused on key vocabulary. This article explores how teachers and administrators can use conversational AI tools to analyze past reading and math assessments, identify important vocabulary terms, and automatically create materials to help students and parents prepare for upcoming tests. A step-by-step tutorial is provided for using chatbots to extract Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary, with examples from released tests. Recommendations are included for how to incorporate the AI-generated study guides and glossaries into the curriculum and share with families to support learning. The techniques outlined allow educators to harness the power of chatbots for targeted test prep while saving valuable prep time.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how teachers can use large language models (LLMs) to help students prepare for EOG tests by analyzing released state test like the STAAR test PDFs:
1. Gather PDFs of released EOG tests in reading, math, and other subjects. These are often available through the state department of education website.
2. Upload the PDFs to a chat platform like Anthropic, Cohere, or ChatGPT that allows file uploads. Many LLMs like Claude and ChatGPT can process PDFs.
3. Prompt the LLM to scan the PDF and identify Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary words that it thinks are important for students to know. For example: "Please analyze this PDF of a released 4th-grade EOG reading test and generate a list of Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary words that students should study."
4. Have the LLM define each identified vocabulary word and put the words/terms, definitions and kid friendly examples in a glossary format. For example: "Please provide student-friendly definitions for each of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary words you identified and format them into a glossary."
5. Ask the LLM to generate expository and narrative texts, and multiple-choice quiz questions for each domain or vocab concept/word. For example: "Please write a multiple choice question that tests knowledge of the word 'factor' from the vocabulary list."
6. Prompt the LLM to write a study guide summarizing key concepts and skills tested in the PDFs. For example: "Please write a one-page study guide for students that summarizes the main skills and knowledge they will need to demonstrate on this 4th grade reading EOG test based on your analysis of the released test PDF."
7. Export the glossary, quiz questions, and study guide output into a document that can be shared with students and parents.
8. Review the LLM's output for accuracy and tweak as needed before distributing.
Using LLMs in this way can save teachers hours of manual analysis and test prep creation. The AI-generated materials can give students valuable practice with academic vocabulary and concepts featured on the real EOG assessments.
