About
This quiz focuses on reading comprehension skills for English language learners at the elementary level, specifically targeting 3rd grade students. The questions assess students' ability to extract specific details and understand key vocabulary from a narrative text about a grandmother teaching her granddaughter to make empanadas. Students must demonstrate literal comprehension by identifying characters' actions, understanding sequence of events, and interpreting figurative language such as the phrase "be an observer." The quiz requires students to recall factual information, understand cooking terminology and processes, and make connections between actions and meanings within the cultural context of family traditions and food preparation. Created by Tatiana Torres, an English teacher in Costa Rica who teaches grade 3. This comprehension quiz serves as an excellent tool for assessing students' understanding of narrative texts while incorporating culturally relevant content that resonates with many students' experiences. Teachers can effectively use this quiz as a formative assessment following a guided reading session, as homework to reinforce comprehension strategies, or as a warm-up activity to review previously read material. The quiz supports English language development by combining reading comprehension with vocabulary acquisition in a meaningful cultural context. This assessment aligns with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.1 for asking and answering questions about key details in text, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.3 for describing characters and their actions, and supports ELD standards for reading comprehension and vocabulary development in academic English.
