This kit contains FLT documents arranged for the use of examiners/teachers who will
administer and score the test. The purpose is to determine the appropriate level in
the program the learner will be given interventions. The materials included are for
two levels, the Elementary and Junior High School forms.
Before starting the test, the examiner/teacher must check the completeness of the
kit. Then he/she may begin with the Test Administration Manual and follow the
instructions given. After all the parts of the test are finished, the examiner/teacher
proceeds with the scoring of the answer sheets, using the guidelines and

INTRODUCTION
The Functional Literacy Test (FLT) assesses preparedness for the learning strands
of ALS K-12 BEC Curriculum. It includes measures of ability to supply personal
information and prior knowledge of the six learning strands: Communication Skills-
English and Filipino, Scientific Literacy and Critical Thinking Skills, Mathematical and
Problem Solving Skills, Life and Career Skills, Understanding the Self and Society,
and Digital Citizenship.
The written portion of the FLT can be administered to learners in small groups, to a
maximum of 30. The first part to be answered is the Personal Information Sheet
(PIS). The second part is the FLT Written test which incorporates the core
competencies of the six (6) Learning Strands. This contains multiple choice items
and writing items. The FLT also contains the Listening/Speaking portion of the LS1-
Communication Skills which is administered on an individual mode.
This set of guidelines is designed for the use of the ALS teachers in administering
the Functional Literacy Test (FLT) to learners who have completed the elementary
level. Their performance on this test will confirm their readiness for the Junior High
School Level. To ensure the validity and reliability of results, all instructions for
administering the test must be strictly followed.

Childhood bullying is so common that it may not seem like a big deal.
Up to 35% of people are estimated to have experienced it at some
point. By adulthood, we are generally expected to have “got over” it.
But the mental health effects of being bullied can be serious and last a
lifetime. One study has even suggested that, when it comes to mental
health, bullying is as harmful as child abuse, if not worse.
12. Express your opinion in one (1) sentence regarding disaster preparedness. Start
your sentence with any of the following phrases:

“The size of the family really affects the basic needs if the prices continue
to rise up,” Popcom Deputy Executive Director Lolito Tocardon said on the
sidelines of the Regional Population Management Congress held Wednesday in
this city.
Based on the July 2018 study of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), about
half of the average Filipino family’s monthly income is spent on food.“Having a big
family will be vulnerable to poverty because their needs also increase while their
income cannot answer their needs,” Tocardon said.
Based on the article, what are the negative effects of high economic inflation to a
big family?
