High School English I: Reading

English I in high school covers a lot of ground, entailing mastery of both reading and writing knowledge and skills.

Be sure to use both study guides as you prepare and access our practice questions and flashcards for both areas. We also provide just a study guide for the composition portion of the English I test so you’ll know which skills are assessed when your composition is scored and how to try for the best results.
