Skill Builders

Each Skill Builder contains an interactive lesson that shows how to use the strategies identified for reading, using documents or numeracy. Use Skill Builders to develop or refresh skills in each skill area. PDF versions with answer keys are available for download.

Choose a Skill Builder from one of the skill areas provided.

Important!

The online interactivities use only a limited number of pre-programmed responses when auto-marking responses. As a result, not all correct responses may be recognized.

If you submit a correct response and it is marked as incorrect, do not be discouraged.

A correct response that is similar to the answer the system provides but is marked incorrect only because of word choice or formatting, should still be considered correct.

For example, the answer “10” may be marked incorrect if a response is submitted as “ten”, or the answer “percentage” may be marked incorrect if a response is submitted as “percent” or “%”. In these examples, all the submitted answers mean the same thing as the pre-programmed correct response and should be considered correct.
