Page numbers for the learning standards appear in parentheses.  \n■ Reading (Framework, pages 13–19)  \n■ Language (Framework, pages 33–40)  \nThe Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for English Language Arts and Literacy is available on the Department website [at www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/current.html](at www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/current.html).  \nELA Reading Comprehension test results are reported under two MCAS reporting categories, Reading and Language, which are identical to the two framework content strands listed above.  \nThe tables at the conclusion of this chapter indicate each released and unreleased common item’s reporting category and the standard it assesses. The correct answers for released multiple-choice questions are also displayed in the released item table.  \nTest Sessions and Content Overview  \nThe grade 3 ELA Reading Comprehension test included two separate test sessions. Each session included reading passages, followed by multiple-choice, short-response, and/or open-response questions. Selected common reading passages and approximately half of the common test items are shown on the following pages as they appeared in grade 3 test & answer booklets.  \nReference Materials  \nThe use of bilingual word-to-word dictionaries was allowed for current and former English language learner students only, during both ELA Reading Comprehension sessions. No other reference materials were allowed during any ELA Reading Comprehension test session.  \nEnglish Language Arts  \nReading CompRehension  \nDIRECTIONS  \nThis session contains two reading selections with multiple-choice, short-response, and open-response questions. For multiple-choice questions, mark your answers by filling in the circle next to the best answer. For short-response and open-response questions, write your answer in the space below the question.  \nRead the passage to learn about dogs and wolves. Then answer the questions that follow.  \nfrom Is My Dog a Wolf?  \nby Jenni Bidner  \nClose Cousins  \n. . .  \n1 In the days of your great-great-(add about 1,000 greats)-grandparents, wolves and dogs shared the same ancestor—the ancient wolf. Gradually, over the centuries, dogs evolved and changed to become their own  \nspecies, and wolves stayed wolves.  \n2 Even though it has been thousands of years since dogs have been wild, many things a dog does by instinct a wolf also does.  \n3 How different are they? Well, you can’t tame a wolfand turn it into a  \ndog. And a dog that gets lost in the woods will not become a wolf simply because it doesn’t live in someone’s home. The two species have changed too much in the past thousands of years.  \n4 Once you understand that dogs and wolves are different, you can look at the ways they are similar. For example, a dog shares a lot more characteristics with a wolf than he does with a cat or a person.  \n. . .  \nCan Wolves Be Trained?  \n5 Wolves are very smart animals, but because they are wild, they have much less interest in being trained. They cannot easily (or as reliably) be taught to do tricks, walk on a leash, or sit on command.  \n6 Dogs, on the other hand, can be trained to do all sorts of things, from shaking hands and jumping through hoops, to guiding blind people,  \ntracking criminals, and sniffing out illegal drugs.  \n. . .  \nThe Nose Knows  \n7 Dogs and wolves can see, of course, but their sense of smell is much more important to them. Their sense of smell is thousands of times better than ours. So, it’s not surprising that they use their noses more than we do.  \n8 Think of your room. Picture your bed, desk, clothes, toys, and posters. Humans are very visual. When we think of something, we tend to picture it in our mind.  \n9","cbCaicIbY4gxRrfK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicIbY4gxRrfK","pdf",2204535,18,"English","# Test Overview\n## Test Sessions and Content Overview\n# Reference Materials\n# Directions and Reading Selections\n## Dogs and Wolves Reading Passage\n## Close Cousins\n## Can Wolves Be Trained?\n## The Nose Knows\n## Hear This\n## Through Their Eyes","[{\"question\":\"How many test sessions does the grade 3 ELA Reading Comprehension test include, and what happens in each session?\",\"answer\":\"It includes two separate test sessions.
