About this resource
This quiz focuses on reading comprehension of classic Aesop's fables, specifically "The Lion and the Mouse" and "The Crow and the Pitcher." Designed for grade 1-2 students, the assessment evaluates fundamental literacy skills including character identification, plot sequencing, vocabulary in context, setting recognition, and theme comprehension. Students must demonstrate their ability to recall key story events, understand cause-and-effect relationships, and identify the moral lessons embedded in these traditional tales. The questions require students to distinguish between main characters and supporting details, comprehend basic story structure elements like setting and character motivation, and make connections between different texts by comparing their similarities. The inclusion of drama format recognition through the "CAST" question introduces students to different text structures and literary formats. Created by Deirdre Sadberry, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 1-2. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding after reading these foundational fables in class. Teachers can use this as a post-reading comprehension check, homework assignment, or review activity before moving to more complex texts. The quiz effectively supports guided reading instruction and can be administered as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before introducing new fables or similar moral tales. The questions align with Common Core Standards RL.1.1, RL.1.2, RL.1.3, RL.2.1, RL.2.2, and RL.2.3, which focus on asking and answering questions about key details, identifying central messages and lessons, and describing characters, settings, and major events in stories.
