The Foundations of Reading (90) MTEL covers ten objectives. The specific objectives and the percentage of points associated with each can be found here: Foundations of Reading Test Objectives.

 

The test is largely organized by objective, with cluster of questions related to a specific objective. Objective 9 (Understand multiple approaches to reading instruction) is more of a "catch-all" objective in which the test makers can integrate information from various objectives and apply them to instructional situations. Objective 10 (Prepare an organized, developed analysis on a topic related to one or more of the following:  foundations of reading development; development of reading comprehension; reading assessment and instruction.) are the open response questions.
