Connecticut Foundations of Reading Test (FORT) Practice

When a book is considered frustrational, what is its expected accuracy rate?

1. Above 95%

2. 91% to 95%

3. Only 90%

4. 91% or lower

The correct answer is: 91% or lower

A book is considered frustrational when a reader's accuracy rate falls at 91% or lower. This means that the reader struggles significantly with the text, making too many errors, which can lead to frustration and a lack of comprehension. An accuracy rate at this level typically indicates that the material is too difficult for the reader, making it unsuitable for effective reading practice. In contrast, higher accuracy rates suggest that the material is likely more appropriate for the reader's current skill level, allowing for successful learning and development. The accuracy rates above this threshold (such as those in the other choices) would align with instructional or independent reading levels, where the reader can engage with the text more successfully.
