About this resource
This quiz focuses on text structure comprehension, specifically targeting the five main organizational patterns used in nonfiction texts: chronological order, cause and effect, problem and solution, compare and contrast, and description. Designed for fourth grade students, this assessment requires students to identify organizational patterns through both definitional understanding and application within authentic text passages. Students must demonstrate their ability to recognize signal words and phrases that indicate specific structures, analyze complete paragraphs to determine their organizational pattern, and make connections between text features and their corresponding structures. The core concepts students need include understanding that authors organize information purposefully, recognizing that certain words and phrases signal specific organizational patterns, and developing the analytical skills to read a passage and determine how the author has structured the information to achieve their purpose. Created by Tina Tise, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 4 and 5. This comprehensive quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding of informational text structures before moving into more complex reading comprehension tasks. Teachers can use this quiz as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, as guided practice during text structure instruction, or as homework to reinforce classroom learning. The variety of question types—from direct vocabulary identification to passage analysis—makes this quiz particularly effective for differentiated instruction and review sessions. This assessment aligns with Common Core State Standards RI.4.5, which requires fourth grade students to describe the overall structure of events, ideas, concepts, or information in a text or part of a text, and supports the foundational reading skills necessary for academic success across all content areas.

There are almost 400 different kinds of sharks. Each kind of shark looks different, has a unique
diet, and behaves differently. There are sharks in the four oceans of the world. Some sharks are longer
than a school bus, while others are so small they can live in fish tanks. Sharks come in all kinds of colors.
Most of the time, their skin color helps them blend in with their surroundings. But, some sharks that live
in the deepest part of the ocean actually have parts that glow in the dark. Most sharks live in salt water,
but some can live in fresh water.
