About this resource

This quiz comprehensively assesses third-grade reading comprehension skills through an informational text about symbiotic relationships between different animal species. Students must demonstrate their ability to identify text structures including cause and effect, problem and solution, and description while analyzing specific examples of mutualism in nature such as ostriches and zebras, shrimp and goby fish, and whales and birds. The questions require students to extract supporting details from specific page references, complete cause-and-effect charts, and draw conclusions about animal behaviors and relationships. To succeed on this assessment, students need strong literal and inferential comprehension skills, the ability to distinguish between different organizational patterns in nonfiction text, and sufficient background knowledge about animal adaptations and interdependence in ecosystems. Created by Lara Tayyem, an English teacher in Kuwait who teaches grade 3. This comprehensive reading assessment serves multiple instructional purposes including formative assessment of students' informational text comprehension and their understanding of text structures. The quiz works effectively as a post-reading assessment after students have completed the "Weird Friends" text, allowing teachers to evaluate whether students can identify key details, understand cause-and-effect relationships, and make inferences about animal behaviors. Teachers can use this assessment for homework following a guided reading lesson, as a review activity before a unit test on animal relationships, or as a benchmark to determine which students need additional support with nonfiction comprehension strategies. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.1 for asking and answering questions about key details, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.3 for describing relationships between concepts, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.8 for identifying logical connections between sentences and paragraphs.
