  Case: ESOL and fcat
What is the most effective way to prepare ELLs for the FCAT?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think an effective way to prepare ELLs for FCAT is to provide them with practice tests and familiarize them with the types of problems they will encounter. I would set up activities that teach FCAT vocabulary. Also, teaching test strategies such as process of elimination and reading thoroughly will prepare the student. One great strategy for ELLs is using context clues to decode unfamiliar words.

Comments: While these are good ways to prepare the average student for the FCAT, ELLs would need further help as far as preparing them with the English usage on the exams.
