Don’t Underestimate the Connecticut Foundations of Reading Exam

Hi everyone,
If you're getting ready for the Connecticut Foundations of Reading (FORT), here’s something important: this exam is less about memorizing terminology and more about proving you understand how reading develops and how to teach it effectively.
What Makes This Exam Different?
You’re tested on:
- Foundations of reading development
- Explicit phonics and phonological instruction
- Fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension
- Assessment and data-driven instruction
- Constructed responses where you must justify instructional decisions
The constructed response portion is where many candidates struggle. You can’t guess your way through it. You have to explain instructional reasoning clearly and precisely.
How I’m Approaching It?
Instead of rereading textbooks, I’m doing three things:
1. Practicing application questions repeatedly
Scenario-based questions force you to think like a reading specialist, not just recall definitions.
2. Reviewing why wrong answers are wrong
This exam often includes plausible distractors. If you don’t understand the instructional logic, you’ll get trapped.
3. Writing out practice responses
For the open-ended questions, I practice structured answers:
- Identify the student need
- Connect to reading theory
- Recommend a targeted instructional strategy
- Explain why it works
Clarity matters more than length.
Practice Resource I’m Using
I’ve been using this for structured practice and timed drills:

It’s helping me stay consistent and focused on the core concepts that show up repeatedly in reading instruction exams.
Hard Truth
If your understanding of phonemic awareness, decoding progression, or assessment interpretation is shaky, this exam will expose it. Surface-level studying won’t cut it.
Treat it like what it is: a test of whether you can teach reading systematically and intentionally.
If anyone wants to compare strategies for tackling the written responses, I’m open to discussing what’s working and what isn’t.
