EQAO (Numeracy/Literacy)

The OSSLT IS COMING!

All grade 10 students will be writing the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test this year (TBD). Each student will use an online platform. 60 minutes are assigned for each booklet. Everyone with an IEP is entitled to double time. Accessing the assistive technology tools available like speech to text and highlighting will benefit many students in successfully completing this assessment. Below you will find some resources that will be extremely helpful for you and your learner to review now in order for your learner to feel prepared and comfortable writing the OSSLT.
