Which assessment is designed to predict success on the FCAT?

The Florida Assessments for Instruction in Reading (FAIR) is specifically designed to predict success on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). FAIR focuses on assessing students' reading abilities and is aligned with state standards, making it an effective tool for identifying students who may need additional support to succeed on standardized tests like the FCAT.

FAIR provides detailed information on students' reading skills, which can be used to guide instruction and intervention strategies. By identifying areas where students may struggle, educators can tailor their teaching methods to improve students' chances of performing well on the FCAT.

In contrast, while tools like DIBELS are valuable for assessing early literacy skills, they do not directly correlate with the FCAT. The ERD (Educational Reporting Data) is focused on data management and reporting rather than direct assessment of student performance on the FCAT, and "Fox in a Box" is not a standard assessment that relates to predicting success on the FCAT.
