About

This quiz focuses on reading comprehension of an expository text about bald eagles and their young, making it perfectly suited for grade 2 students who are developing foundational reading skills and scientific vocabulary. The questions assess multiple comprehension strategies including genre identification, literal comprehension of factual information, and author's purpose analysis. Students need to demonstrate their understanding of informational text features, make connections between related facts (such as understanding that birds lay eggs and have specific characteristics), and synthesize information to answer questions about eagle development and behavior. The quiz requires students to distinguish between true and false statements, select multiple correct answers, and apply reading comprehension skills to extract specific details about eagle life cycles, physical characteristics, and survival needs. Created by Hermari S, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 2. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to gauge students' comprehension of informational texts and their ability to recall and analyze factual content. Teachers can effectively use this as a post-reading assessment after students have read about eagles, as homework to reinforce key concepts, or as a review activity before moving to related science or reading units. The quiz supports multiple instructional purposes including warmup activities to activate prior knowledge, independent practice to strengthen comprehension skills, and formative assessment to identify students who may need additional support with informational text comprehension. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.1 (asking and answering questions about key details), CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.5 (identifying text features), and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.6 (identifying author's purpose in informational texts).
