These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 11 parts and 62 topics.
You've read the definition of a phoneme three times. You close the guide...
...and you're no longer sure if "she" has two sounds or three. It was just one line after another.
Here phonemes are one drawn page: each word split into its sounds, "go" with two, "she" with two, and the smallest sound shown on its own.
And on the pages next to it, every topic gets its own: syllables you clap apart, long and short vowels, rhymes, roots and prefixes, synonyms and homonyms.
First you understand why it works that way. Then the order sticks on its own.
The test itself, reading skills, sounds and word parts, helping students read, number sense, algebra and patterns, measurement and geometry, data, grammar, the writing process and test day: 66 pages, all drawn
Imagine this:
Instead of rereading half a page about main idea and supporting details without being able to picture it...
...you open the page and find the main idea drawn as an umbrella, with the details standing under it, and the umbrella test that tells them apart.
And phonemes, fractions, order of operations, units and fragments turn into drawings and tables you can read at a glance.
You stop memorizing and start understanding.
That's exactly what The ParaPro Sketchbook does. It's not “just another study guide.” It's 66 drawn pages in 11 parts, and the last part is a final review with pacing, frequent mistakes and a test-day checklist. Because what your brain sees in order, it remembers.
Because what your brain sees organized, it remembers.
What the test looks like: 90 questions in 150 minutes, skill vs classroom questions, the Title I rule, the 420-480 scale, how to register and how to check whether your state uses ParaPro or ParaPathways.
Main idea and supporting details, how a passage is organized, context clues, inferences and the proof test for fact or opinion.
Phonemes, long and short vowels, rhymes, syllables, roots, prefixes and suffixes, synonyms, antonyms and homonyms, and sentence clues to decode a word.
Alphabetizing and guide words, previewing a text, questions before, during and after reading, observing what a student understands and following written directions.
Place value from billions to thousandths, rounding and estimating, the four operations, fraction pizza, operations with fractions, and fractions, decimals and percents on one strip.
The number line and the < > symbols, exponents, order of operations, one-step equations on a balance and number sequences.
Telling time, the U.S. customary unit ladder, metric prefixes, triangles, polygons and circles, perimeter, area and volume, and the coordinate plane.
Tables, bar graphs and line graphs, trends over time, making a simple graph, mean, median and mode, and checking a student's math step by step.
The parts of speech, subject and predicate, agreement, fragments, run-ons and comma splices, commas, semicolons and colons, apostrophes, capitals and mix-up words.
Prewriting, the paragraph hamburger, thesis, body and conclusion, revising vs editing, reference tools, and purpose, audience and mode.
Pacing 90 questions, frequent math mistakes, frequent reading and writing traps, the test day checklist and what to do with your score report.
At the end of the book: A final review part: pacing, frequent mistakes, reading and writing traps and a test day checklist.
One printable page with fractions, decimals and percents lined up, plus the order of operations, to keep next to you every time you practice math without a calculator.
The term on the front, a one-line definition and a tiny sketch on the back, so you can review reading, writing and math vocabulary a few cards at a time.

Reading, writing and no-calculator math, one topic per page, to get back into studying after years away, at your own pace.
All three subjects reviewed in the same order, with the frequent mistakes and traps in one final part, so you can go straight back to the subject that cost you points.
The classroom questions get their own pages: helping a student read, following directions and checking a student's math step by step, so you can explain it the way the test asks.

For adults preparing for the ParaPro Assessment (1755): first-time test takers, people retaking it and aides who already work in a classroom. It starts from the basics, so it works even if you haven't done math without a calculator in years. Before you register, check which test your state or district requires, since some states now use ParaPathways instead. See the table of contents above for every topic.
The ETS ParaPro Assessment (1755) Study Companion and the 2026-27 ParaPro Information Bulletin, checked against the ETS state requirements page and the federal rule for Title I paraprofessionals (34 CFR 200.58). Math facts follow OpenStax Prealgebra 2e; writing facts follow the OpenStax Writing Guide Handbook and Excelsior OWL.
No. It's an independent study book with our own original drawings and worked examples. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by ETS. ParaPro is a trademark of ETS, used here only to name the test.
No. It's a visual review for the test. It's not a certificate or credential, it doesn't count as training hours and it doesn't replace your district's training, a prep course or the direction of the classroom teacher. It doesn't guarantee a score: each state sets its own passing score.
No. Every example and practice question is written for this book. None are official ETS questions and none are copied from the test.
Yes. It's a high-resolution PDF: print the whole book or just the pages you need, like The Classroom Math Strip to keep next to you while you practice.
You have 30 days. Tell us what didn't work and we'll refund 100% of what you paid.
You don't have to reread the same page hoping it sticks this time.
You don't have to memorize rules you can't picture.
And you definitely don't have to walk into the test without knowing where to start.
There's a simpler way. And it's one click away. Now it's your turn.
