FCAT & FDOG: A Tale of Two Very Unusual Animals By Bob Scallan ABOUT THE BOOK When third graders Dylan and Andrew misunderstand their teacher and think the FCAT-- a test-- is actually a horrible creature, they create an “FDOG” to help them find this FCAT monster. FDOG searches their school campus with them for clues. They discover the truth only after meeting a crazed janitor and rifling backpacks and classrooms. Professional educator Bob Scallan uses humor to relieve text anxiety surrounding the FCAT (the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test). FCAT and FDOG help to ease students’ fears and teach them that, if they focus and work hard all year, the dreaded FCAT is not that bad. ABOUT THE AUTHOR The author is a middle school assistant principal who lives with his wife and sons in Naples, Florida or, as he prefers to call it, “Paradise.” Scallan has written more than just a story. A workbook containing exercises designed to help teachers prepare third graders to take the FCAT is included.
