Description

FLREADCOMP4 is the result of the fourth reading comprehension question based on the passage the child read in the foundational learning module.

This fourth question is a test of literal comprehension. The question is "Where did [name] fall down?" and the correct answer is "near a banana tree". The name of the child in the reading passage is specific to the country and language. Some samples substitute "banana" for a geographically familiar type of tree such as "apple tree" or "olive tree" or the general "big tree".
