Marko, the animated pencil (voiced by 2007 American Anime Best Actor Award winner Vic Mignogna), provides students with test-taking strategies.  When students know they have the tools to do their very best on a standardized reading test, they will be able to stay calm and relaxed during the test.  Students learn the tricks to help them read a passage for meaning, underline key words, eliminate poor choices, and determine the best answers.  Infused with kid-friendly jokes, this DVD runs approximately 46 minutes.
