ELPAC mixed practice test 1 for kindergarten
Listening, then reading, in the order the real test presents them: short exchanges, two stories, a short talk about bees, and read-along words, a story and a text about rain. An explanation follows every question.
Before you start
- 20 questions covering listening and reading.
- Each question is on its own page, and you will see whether you were right straight away, with an explanation.
- There is no timer and no sign-up. Your answers are saved in this browser only, so you can stop and pick it up again on this device.
- Listening questions play recorded audio. A written transcript is available under each one.
What this test covers
- Read-Along Word with Scaffolding (3 questions): With help from the test examiner, the student gives the letter names and the first letter sound of a word.
- Read-Along Story with Scaffolding (3 questions): The student follows along while the examiner reads a short story aloud, with pictures for support.
- Read-Along Information with Scaffolding (3 questions): The student follows along while the examiner reads an informational text aloud, with pictures for support.
