1. FLORIDA RETAKE FLASH!

OUT NOW!


by Dana Henricks


Think the Dolphins will win the Super Bowl next year?


Maybe. But right now your goal is to pass the Florida Reading Retake 2.0.

Florida students must pass the Florida Reading exam to receive a high school diploma from a public school. Students who have failed the Grade 10 Reading test can meet this requirement by passing the Florida Reading Retake 2.0 exam. The “Retake” assesses the same Next Generation Sunshine State Standards, but with only multiple-choice questions. Students can retake this exam as many times as they want, and can even enroll for a 13th year of public high school, if they need more instruction! (Hey! I’ll make it next year!)

Amsco’s Mastering the Florida Reading Retake 2.0 includes a Diagnostic test with Analysis Table, nine chapters, and two full-length Practice Tests. Each chapter includes benchmark explanations, instruction and review, literary and informational texts with graphics, guided practice, and independent practice. New information is provided e.g., narrative and descriptive writing and text features. All multiple-choice questions are aligned to the new Test Item Specifications

Special features include Understanding the Benchmark (which introduces the content of each benchmark and suggests activities for in-class or at-home practice), Making the Assessment Connection (which lists types of multiple-choice questions that will assess the benchmark and the kinds of reading selections found on the test), FLORIDA FLASH (which provides important information about the exam), RETAKE EXTRA (which gives helpful hints about strategies to use when reading a selection and answering test questions), Try It Out (Practice makes perfect!), and On Your Own (Go ahead, challenge me!)

Reading selections consist of a high-interest mix of informational and literary texts aimed at upper-level high school as well as adult students (No kid stuff!). Readings are accompanied by visual texts such as diagrams, graphs, illustrations and photos aimed to prepare students for what they’ll find on the actual test.

So don’t let the Dolphins’ antics distract you from the Florida Reading Retake. Whether or not they win the Super Bowl, you’ll still need that diploma!
