About this resource

This quiz focuses on reading comprehension skills using an informational text about hurricanes as the content vehicle. Designed for 4th grade students, the assessment evaluates students' ability to extract key information from nonfiction text, understand text structures, and interpret graphic features. Students need strong literal comprehension skills to identify main causes and scientific processes, analytical thinking to recognize cause-and-effect relationships in explanatory text, and visual literacy skills to understand how different graphic organizers support comprehension. The questions require students to distinguish between factual details about hurricane formation, identify appropriate text headings based on content, analyze how photographs enhance understanding, recognize text structure patterns, and evaluate the effectiveness of various graphic features like maps, diagrams, and satellite images in conveying specific types of information. Created by Miss Perez, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 4. This comprehension quiz serves as an excellent tool for assessing students' informational text reading skills while building their knowledge of weather science. Teachers can use this assessment as a formative evaluation after students read the hurricane article, as homework to reinforce reading strategies taught in class, or as review material before standardized testing. The quiz effectively supports classroom instruction by requiring students to demonstrate multiple comprehension strategies simultaneously - from basic recall of scientific facts to higher-order analysis of text features and author's craft. This assessment aligns with standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.1 for referring to details and examples when explaining text, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.5 for describing text structure, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.7 for interpreting information from charts, graphs, diagrams, and other visual elements.
