Prepare for the OAE Foundations of Reading (190) test, the Ohio Assessments for Educators exam that confirms new teachers know how children learn to read and how to teach reading. This study guide follows all 11 objectives and four subareas of the current test framework and teaches every topic the way the test asks about it: through classroom scenarios, student errors, and assessment data.

This 126-page digital guide pairs a full content review with two full-length practice tests of scenario-based, exam-level questions and four open-response practice assignments with high-scoring sample responses.
