We will be practicing for the California State Tests (CAT) with in class guided website practice. The ELA CAT looks a lot like the Benchmark Reading comprehension tests that the students are used to taking on the computer that includes reading passages with multiple choice questions as well as open ended type-in type answers. They will also need to write a paragraph (1 or more) on a provided topic, based on what they read about. Â
