About this resource
This quiz focuses on reading comprehension through MAZE assessment, a specialized technique where students select the correct word from three options to complete meaningful sentences within continuous text passages. Designed for 5th grade students, the assessment evaluates multiple critical reading skills simultaneously: contextual vocabulary understanding, grammatical knowledge including pronoun usage and verb tenses, semantic comprehension, and the ability to maintain meaning across connected text. Students must demonstrate proficiency in distinguishing between homophones (no/know/now), selecting appropriate pronouns (her vs. she), choosing contextually appropriate verbs (deciding/decide/decided), and understanding prepositions and subject-verb agreement. The quiz requires students to process information at both the sentence and passage levels, making connections between ideas while maintaining comprehension of two distinct narratives - a story about a girl learning to ride a bike and an informational text about cheetahs. Created by Andrew Sargent, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 5. This MAZE practice quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment, allowing teachers to quickly identify students who may be struggling with reading fluency and comprehension. The format works particularly well as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before reading instruction, as independent practice to reinforce comprehension strategies, or as homework to extend learning beyond the classroom. Teachers can use the results to guide small group instruction and identify specific areas where students need additional support, whether in vocabulary development, grammar application, or contextual reasoning. This assessment directly supports Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.5.4 for reading fluency and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.5.1 for language conventions, while also addressing CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.4 for determining word meanings in informational text.
