About this resource
This quiz focuses on reading comprehension skills for the opening chapters of "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane," a children's novel by Kate DiCamillo. Designed for elementary students in grades 2-4, the questions assess literal comprehension, character analysis, and vocabulary development through context clues. Students need to demonstrate their ability to identify main characters, describe physical characteristics, understand character relationships and motivations, and extract specific details from the text. The quiz requires students to analyze Edward's self-perception as a vain china rabbit, Abilene's loving relationship with him, and key plot events like the vacuum cleaner incident. Additionally, students must use context clues to determine the meanings of vocabulary words such as "obedience" and "mocking," which are essential skills for developing independent reading comprehension at this grade level. Created by Regina Benzing, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 2-4. This comprehension quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment after students have read the first two chapters of the novel. Teachers can use this quiz as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before continuing with the story, assign it as independent practice to reinforce reading comprehension skills, or implement it as a quick check for understanding during guided reading sessions. The quiz effectively supports homework assignments by encouraging students to revisit the text and practice close reading strategies. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.1 for asking and answering questions about key details, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.3 for describing characters and their actions, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.3.4.A for using context clues to determine word meanings, making it an ideal resource for building foundational literacy skills.
