As far as I have ever known the reading EOG was never based on MOT strategies. The categories of questions just had similar labels - like connections. The test for the past 5 years and the new one this year has been based on Marzano. Marzano fits very well with MOT, at least most of it. Marzano includes more than just thinking strategies.
