FCAT EXPLORER

The State of Florida offers an excellent FCAT resource to all third graders for free called FCAT Explorer.  This website offers the best example of the types and styles of question that will be on the FCAT.  FCAT Explorer is designed to be visually exciting and enjoyable for student use.

I strongly encourage all of my students to log-on and work on FCAT Explorer for at least three, 30 minute sessions per week.  This is an excellent use of computer time!
