This Grade 4 English worksheet checks reading comprehension of the characters, setting, conflicts, and major events in Island of the Blue Dolphins 1-8. Its 10 multiple-choice questions ask students to identify Karana and the island, recall the Aleuts’ arrival and the beach battle, and explain key decisions involving Kimki, Ramo, and Karana.
Use the 10 multiple-choice items after students read the assigned section of Island of the Blue Dolphins 1-8. Have students cite the story detail that supports each choice, then discuss cause and effect—for example, how Ramo being left behind led to Karana’s decision to jump from the ship.
Watch for students who confuse characters or groups, such as Chief Chowig, Captain Orlov, Kimki, the Aleuts, and the White Men. Students may also select a related but incorrect event, such as saying Ramo forgot a basket instead of his fishing spear, or overlook that Chief Chowig died in the beach battle and that Ramo was killed by wild dogs.
