[Fiction Express] Alignment with GET Assessments: how to prepare your students
The Fiction Express methodology is designed to develop the key reading skills assessed in the GET (Global Education Test). Thanks to its structured, data-driven approach, it supports students from literal comprehension through to critical thinking.
🎯 Why is this alignment important?
GET assessments evaluate not just reading, but how students understand, interpret and reflect on texts.
Fiction Express develops these skills naturally through:
- Active and participatory reading
- Continuous assessment (automated + teacher-led)
- Written production and critical thinking
