Grade 10 Literacy Test

The Grade 10 Literacy Test assesses a student's current reading, comprehension, and writing abilities. The skills that this assessment tool measures are the same skills a student requires to excel in all academic courses. The ability to write well and to read with understanding cannot be overstated. All academic courses, including math, require the same set of general abilities for students to truly reach their potential. At L.T.L. Tutoring Central, we are able to help students improve their effort on the test - but, more importantly, we are able to assist them at improving their skills for the rest of their academic (& work) careers. We expand upon the general guidelines and school preparation by providing personal attention and individual programs.
