such as reading assigned passages or working on vocabulary development.

Alphabetize words Other questions are concerned with tools of the reading process: common strategies used in classrooms before, during, and reading to aid students’ reading skills. These questions assess the examinee’s ability to: 1. Help students use prereading strategies, such as skimming or making predictions 2. Ask questions about a reading selection to help students understand the selection 3. Make accurate observations about students’ ability to understand and interpret text
