About this resource
This quiz focuses on children's literature and library literacy for elementary students, spanning grades 2-5. The questions assess students' familiarity with popular picture books, early chapter books, graphic novels, and book series commonly found in elementary school libraries. Students need knowledge of beloved characters like Pigeon, Elephant and Piggie, Dog Man, Pete the Cat, and Clifford, along with recognition of prominent authors such as Mo Willems, Dr. Seuss, and Aaron Reynolds. The quiz also tests understanding of book genres, particularly the distinction between graphic novels and other formats, as well as basic library science concepts including the Dewey Decimal System and library organization. The difficulty progresses from simple character and title recognition to more complex author identification and literary trivia, requiring students to demonstrate both recreational reading experience and foundational information literacy skills. Created by Kathryn Blair, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 2-5. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for library orientation, reading motivation, and assessment of students' exposure to quality children's literature. Teachers can use it as a fun warm-up activity during library visits, a review game following author studies or genre exploration, or as formative assessment to gauge students' familiarity with age-appropriate texts and library concepts. The quiz works particularly well for celebrating reading achievements, encouraging students to explore new books and series, and reinforcing library skills in an engaging format. It aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2-5.7 for connecting text to illustrations, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2-5.9 for comparing texts by the same author, and library information literacy standards that emphasize familiarity with organizational systems and literary knowledge.
