Grade 10 students set to write literacy test

The test assesses the reading and writing skills that students are expected to have learned in all subjects by the end of Grade 9, as outlined in The Ontario Curriculum.

“In order to support student success, parents/guardians are asked to ensure that their child is present at school for the test and prepared to do his or her best,” said director of education Norm Blaseg, in a press release.

Parents can help their children prepare for the test by accessing practice questions and test information at www.eqao.com.
