About this resource
This quiz focuses on reading comprehension of a Native American folktale titled "Rabbit's Snow Dance," appropriate for grades 1-2. The questions assess students' understanding of literary elements including genre identification, character traits, plot sequence, and cause-and-effect relationships within the story. Students need foundational reading skills to extract explicit information from text, basic knowledge of story structure to identify key events and their consequences, and beginning analytical thinking to understand character motivations and story lessons. The quiz requires students to recall specific details about how Rabbit's appearance changed, understand seasonal concepts, and recognize the moral lesson about patience that the folktale teaches. Students must also demonstrate vocabulary comprehension and the ability to complete text-based patterns, as shown in the final fill-in-the-blank question about Rabbit's snow song. Created by Kendra Clark, an Education teacher in the US who teaches grades 1-2. This quiz effectively supports early elementary reading instruction by providing structured comprehension questions that guide students through important story elements and themes. Teachers can use this assessment as a post-reading activity to check understanding, as homework to reinforce classroom discussions about folktales, or as formative assessment to gauge students' progress in reading comprehension skills. The quiz works well for small group discussions where students can explain their answer choices and deepen their understanding of story structure and cultural literature. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards RL.1.1 and RL.2.1 for asking and answering questions about key details, RL.1.2 and RL.2.2 for identifying central messages and lessons in stories, and RL.1.3 and RL.2.3 for describing characters, settings, and major events using key details from the text.
