About this resource
This quiz assesses 5th grade students' reading comprehension of C.S. Lewis's "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," specifically covering the foundational chapters 1-5. The questions evaluate multiple levels of understanding, from basic recall of plot events to higher-order thinking skills including vocabulary comprehension, character motivation analysis, and inference-making. Students must demonstrate their ability to identify key story elements such as setting (the air raids prompting the children's stay with the Professor), character development (Edmund's manipulation by the White Witch through enchanted Turkish Delight), and symbolic language (understanding "Daughter of Eve" as referring to human girls). The quiz requires students to track multiple plot threads simultaneously, understand cause-and-effect relationships, and recognize the significance of magical elements within the fantasy genre. Created by Shannon Riehl, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 5. This comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding before progressing to later chapters, or as a summative evaluation of the opening section. Teachers can utilize this quiz as a discussion starter for deeper literary analysis, assign it as independent homework to reinforce reading accountability, or implement it as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before introducing new concepts about fantasy literature. The quiz aligns with Common Core standards RL.5.1 (quoting accurately from text when drawing inferences), RL.5.2 (determining theme and summarizing), RL.5.3 (comparing and contrasting characters), and RL.5.4 (determining meaning of words and phrases), making it an excellent tool for measuring student progress toward grade-level reading proficiency while building engagement with classic children's literature.
