What types of questions are included in the reading section?

The reading section of the CAASPP includes multiple-choice, short answer, and performance task questions, which are designed to assess a student's comprehension and analytical skills. Multiple-choice questions allow students to demonstrate their understanding of the text by selecting the best answer from provided options. Short answer questions encourage students to articulate their responses in a brief, constructed format, showcasing their ability to analyze and interpret the reading material. Performance task questions assess students' application of knowledge and critical thinking skills as they engage with longer texts and complete tasks that require in-depth responses. Together, these question types provide a comprehensive assessment of a student's reading capabilities, making option B the most appropriate choice.
