What the reading test covers
- Literary text — stories and poems: characters, theme, and plot.
- Informational text — articles: main idea, key details, and text structure.
- Vocabulary — word meanings, context clues, and word parts.
- Inference — reading between the lines and supporting answers with evidence.
