Conclusion: WorkKeys Reading for Information is an integral part of MME Reading scoring. About 50% of the MME items are taken from WorkKeys. Student performance on WorkKeys is a good predictor of MME achievement. Schools need to focus on both ACT and WorkKeys reading objectives. Consultant Services Department, Macomb ISD 11/07/2013
