About
This quiz focuses on reading comprehension and vocabulary development through an informational text about eagles and their offspring. Designed for second-grade students, the assessment combines factual recall questions about eagle biology and behavior with essential literacy skills including synonyms, antonyms, main idea identification, and text features. Students need foundational knowledge of animal classification (mammals versus birds), life cycles, and habitat concepts to answer the content-specific questions. The literacy components require students to understand word relationships, distinguish between different comprehension strategies, and recognize how authors use visual elements to support text meaning. The questions assess both literal comprehension of informational text and application of vocabulary and reading strategy knowledge that second graders are developing. Created by Jodee Spencer, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 2. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool following a guided reading lesson or science unit on birds of prey. Teachers can use this assessment as a post-reading activity to check student understanding of both content knowledge and reading skills, making it ideal for integrated literacy and science instruction. The quiz works well as independent practice after whole-group instruction or as homework to reinforce concepts introduced in class. It effectively supports small group instruction where teachers can differentiate based on student responses to the vocabulary and comprehension questions. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards including CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.1 for asking and answering questions about key details, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.2 for identifying main topic, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.5 for using text features, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.2.5 for understanding word relationships and nuances in word meanings.
