About this resource
This quiz focuses on reading comprehension through a biographical text about Wilma Rudolph, the legendary Olympic sprinter who overcame polio as a child. Designed for 2nd grade students, the questions assess multiple reading skills including literal comprehension, text structure understanding, author's purpose, and vocabulary in context. Students need to demonstrate their ability to locate specific information within the text, understand cause-and-effect relationships, analyze how Wilma's family supported her recovery, and recognize the inspirational nature of her achievements. The quiz also requires students to identify text features such as section headings and distinguish between informational and narrative text types. To succeed, students must apply close reading strategies, make connections between different parts of the text, and understand figurative language like the phrase "paid off" in context. Created by Marlen Hinojosa, an Education teacher in the US who teaches grade 2. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for developing foundational reading comprehension skills through an inspiring biographical narrative that connects to students' understanding of perseverance and overcoming challenges. Teachers can use this assessment as a post-reading activity after students have read the Wilma Rudolph passage, or as a formative assessment to gauge students' ability to extract key information from informational texts. The quiz works effectively for independent practice, guided reading group activities, or homework assignments that reinforce classroom instruction. It can also serve as a warm-up review before discussions about historical figures or as preparation for writing activities about personal heroes. The questions align with CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.2.1 for asking and answering questions about key details, CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.2.6 for identifying author's purpose, and CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.2.4 for determining word meanings in context.
