What is the FAST?
Beginning with the 2022–23 school year, Florida’s statewide, standardized assessments in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics are aligned with the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.).
Test-prep isn’t an event, it’s a process! With ReadTheory you can confidently prepare students for the reading portions of The Florida Assessment of Student Thinking.
Yes! Getting started is easy. Deploy the pre-test to your students, identify critical reading proficiency gaps, and get comprehensive feedback in real-time. Most importantly, eliminate test anxiety, and even make it (dare we say) FUN with competitions and badges. With the right preparation, the FAST is an opportunity for your students to show off what they know.
