About this resource

This quiz focuses on reading comprehension and literary analysis of C.S. Lewis's classic fantasy novel "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." Designed for grades 4-8, the assessment tests students' ability to recall specific plot details, understand character motivations, and track narrative sequences throughout the story. The questions require students to demonstrate close reading skills by identifying key story elements including character actions and consequences, magical elements and their effects on the plot, and the cause-and-effect relationships that drive the narrative forward. Students must synthesize information from different parts of the novel to answer questions about Edmund's betrayal and redemption, the symbolic significance of Aslan's sacrifice, and the resolution of the central conflict between good and evil in Narnia. Created by Bill Lassiter, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 4-8. This AR (Accelerated Reader) practice quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment after students complete independent reading of the novel, allowing teachers to verify comprehension and identify students who may need additional support with the text. The quiz works effectively as a follow-up activity to guided reading sessions, as homework to reinforce understanding, or as a review exercise before more complex analytical discussions about themes and literary devices in the novel. Teachers can use the results to gauge whether students are ready for deeper literary analysis activities or need to revisit specific plot elements, supporting standards such as CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.4.1 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.1, which require students to refer explicitly to the text when drawing inferences and answering questions about key details.
