About this resource
This quiz focuses on reading comprehension of Chapter 2 from Rick Riordan's "The Lightning Thief," the first book in the Percy Jackson series. Designed for 6th grade students, the assessment evaluates literal comprehension skills through plot recall and cause-and-effect understanding. Students need strong reading comprehension abilities to identify specific events, character motivations, and sequential relationships within the narrative. The questions require students to distinguish between what did and did not happen in the text, understand character emotions and reactions, and recognize important story elements that will likely become significant later in the novel. Students must demonstrate careful attention to detail and the ability to recall specific information from their reading, skills that form the foundation for more advanced literary analysis. Created by Christina Hill, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 6. This quiz serves as an effective formative assessment tool to ensure students are actively reading and comprehending the text before moving forward with instruction. Teachers can use this as a chapter check for homework completion, a warm-up activity to begin class discussion about the chapter, or as practice for students who need additional support with reading comprehension. The quiz format allows for quick identification of students who may need re-reading or additional support before continuing with the novel. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.1, which requires students to cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.3, which focuses on describing how plot unfolds and how characters respond to challenges.
