About this resource
This quiz focuses on reading comprehension through an informational text about sharks and shark attacks, targeting 3rd grade students. The questions assess students' ability to extract key details, identify main ideas, understand cause-and-effect relationships, and synthesize information from the text. Students need strong literal comprehension skills to answer factual questions about shark behavior, habitat preferences, and safety measures, while also demonstrating higher-order thinking skills to determine main ideas and essential meanings. The quiz requires students to distinguish between correct information and distractors, understand the concept of "EXCEPT" questions, and recognize how details support broader themes about the complex relationship between humans and sharks. Created by Liz Jackson, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 3. This comprehensive reading comprehension quiz serves multiple instructional purposes in the elementary classroom, working effectively as a formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding after reading the "Shark Attack" text. Teachers can use this quiz for independent practice, homework assignments, or small group review sessions to reinforce key comprehension strategies. The varied question types—from literal recall to inferential thinking—make it valuable for differentiated instruction and help students practice essential skills like identifying main ideas, understanding vocabulary in context, and making connections between details and larger concepts. This assessment aligns with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.1 (asking and answering questions about key details), CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.2 (determining main idea and supporting details), and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.7 (using information from text features).
