Grade 10 Literacy Assessment
The Grade 10 Literacy Assessment (LTE 10) is based on learning across various subject areas, from K-10.
The LTE 10 is electronic and is comprised on selected response and written questions focused on analyzing texts, communicating understanding and marking personal connections.
The assessment contains 3 parts: a required component, a choice component and a self-reflection. The LTE 10 is graded using a rubric; however, students’ final transcripts will show ‘requirements met’ rather than the proficiency score.

Grade 12 Literacy Assessment
2021-2022 is the first year of the Grade 12 Literacy Assessment.
Students who fulfill all graduation requirements BEFORE October 31, 2021 will not be required to write this assessment. Students who have not met graduation requirements as of October 31, 2021 MUST write this assessment to graduate.
The Grade 12 Literacy Assessment is a provincial assessment that assesses student proficiency in literacy. It is a graduation requirement and completed during students’ Grade 12 year.
The Grade 12 Literacy Assessment assesses students’ ability to use critical and reflective thinking and analysis to make meaning from a diverse array of texts. It also assesses the ability of students to communicate their ideas, or those found in the texts.
The Grade 12 Literacy Assessment is not based on a particular subject matter or course, but rather on learning across multiple subjects from kindergarten to Grade 12.
