What Do We Mean When We Say Test-Aligned?

Our curriculum team studies all of the standards and competencies for the Praxis® Teaching Reading: Elementary Education (5203) exam and cross-references them with the current and previous questions released by the official testing company. We then work with content and teaching experts to distill down what test-takers need to know. No matter where you are in the study guide, you can always see how the concept you are learning is aligned to the test standards.

Praxis®️ Teaching Reading FAQs

How do I pass the Praxis®️ Teaching Reading 5203 test?

To pass the Praxis®️ Teaching Reading: Elementary Education 5203 test, you must first understand what is on the exam and what you will be expected to know. Once you identify areas of weakness, you can begin targeting those areas with instructional content and practice questions.

Yes. You can take a short, unscheduled restroom break after the conclusion of one subtest, but before reading the directions for the next subtest.
