Written scoring
How the written part is scored
The MTEL Foundations of Reading (190) does not only ask you to pick an answer. This part is graded by a human against a published rubric, and most candidates never read it. That is the cheapest points on the whole exam to leave behind.
Integration of Knowledge and Understanding
Written response20% of your score150 to 300 wordsEverything the prompt asks you to do
- State a precise, knowledgeable claim that directly answers the exact question the prompt poses.
- Apply accurate, task-appropriate subject-matter knowledge (this is scored on its own).
- Support the response with specific, relevant evidence and examples, not general statements.
- Explain your reasoning so the response shows real understanding, not just a correct answer.
Miss one of these and you lose points no matter how well the rest is written.

You write, it scores, you rewrite. That is feedback on your MTEL Foundations of Reading (190) response, not generic writing advice.
