NB G5 FI Reading study guide
NB G5 FI Reading · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Norwegian Grade 5 foreign-language reading exam (Nasjonale prøver, 5. trinn – lesing engelsk/fremmedspåk) is a national screening test taken by pupils in their fifth year of schooling in Norway. It is designed for classroom teachers and schools as much as for pupils: the results show how well a child reads English as a foreign language and help schools spot pupils who need extra support before lower secondary school. It is a low-stakes test for the individual child - it is not an admissions exam and does not lead to a certificate or grade on a scale. The NB G5 FI Reading study guide has 4 sections and about 1,342 words.
