About this resource
This quiz assesses third-grade students' reading comprehension of an expository text about space and astronomy, specifically focusing on Earth's relationship to celestial bodies and space exploration history. The questions evaluate multiple literacy skills including genre identification, vocabulary in context, fact recall, and author's purpose analysis. Students must demonstrate understanding of basic astronomical concepts such as Earth's closest neighbor, the Sun's role in providing light and heat, and key figures in space exploration like America's first astronaut. The quiz also tests students' ability to distinguish between true and false statements about scientific instruments and space missions, requiring them to apply critical thinking skills to factual information about telescopes, satellites, and space exploration achievements. Created by Mr. Lynn, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 3. This comprehension quiz serves as an excellent tool for assessing students' understanding after reading informational text about space science, combining literacy skills with content knowledge in an age-appropriate format. Teachers can use this quiz for post-reading assessment, homework assignments, or review sessions to gauge students' comprehension of both the text structure and scientific content. The mix of multiple-choice and true/false questions makes it suitable for formative assessment, allowing teachers to quickly identify areas where students may need additional support in reading comprehension or content understanding. This assessment aligns with standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.5 for identifying genre and text features, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.1 for asking and answering questions about key details, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.8 for identifying author's purpose in informational texts.
