About this resource

This sixth-grade English quiz centers on reading comprehension and vocabulary development through an engaging informational text about equine-assisted therapy. The questions assess students' ability to extract specific details, understand key vocabulary in context, and make connections between different concepts within the text. Students need strong literal comprehension skills to identify factual information about historical figures like Lis Hartel, organizations like HETI, and therapeutic riding practices. They must also demonstrate vocabulary knowledge by defining terms like "therapeutic," "strength," and "dressage" based on textual context. The quiz requires students to synthesize information about the physical, emotional, and educational benefits of horse therapy programs, moving beyond simple recall to show understanding of cause-and-effect relationships and the broader significance of the therapeutic riding movement worldwide. Created by Cariza dela Cruz, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 6. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for assessing reading comprehension skills while introducing students to an inspiring topic that connects science, history, and human interest elements. Teachers can use this assessment as a formative evaluation after students complete the reading passage, as a homework assignment to reinforce comprehension strategies, or as part of a unit on overcoming challenges and therapeutic interventions. The quiz works particularly well for building vocabulary in context and practicing the skill of locating textual evidence to support answers. This assessment aligns with Common Core State Standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.1 for citing textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.2 for determining central ideas and providing summaries, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.4 for determining the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in informational texts.
