I have aligned them with Common Core, but because reading comprehension skills are assessed similarly across the board, you can easily use these even if you don’t use Common Core.
Use these for whole group mini-lessons to model a think-aloud, independent practice, small group remediation, homework, or progress monitoring.
Many people who use my Better Than Basal sets often ask how to assess after teaching with mentor texts. Rather than assessing on the book, I suggest assessing on the skill to see if they can apply it! This line of assessments is your answer! 🙂

WHAT’S INCLUDED?
These assessments are included in printable (PDF) and digital formats (Google Forms with self-grading options).
***Because of standard R.9, the passages and articles in this set are paired.***
Fiction passages included, differentiated for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades:
The First Tooth (adapted from poem by Charles and Mary Lamb)
The Baby (written by Jivey)
The Fox and The Stork (adapted from Aesop’s Fables)
The Games (written by Jivey)
How the Tortoise Overcame the Elephant and the Hippo (adapted from Folk Stories From Southern Nigeria)
The Fox and the Well (drama adapted from Joel Chandler Harris)
Nonfiction passages included, all written by Jivey, differentiated for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades:
Scream Machines
Incredible Hulk
Turkey Pardoning
Easter Egg Roll
Battle of Yorktown
Surrender of Cornwallis
I have written four levels of each passage, as well as three levels of questions for each standard. This is to allow for differentiation for your learners. For instance, if a student is reading on a 3rd grade level in 5th grade, you might still give him the 5th grade questions, but give the 3rd grade passage. This will truly assess if he can perform the skill, not if he can read the passage given.
Please look at the preview file to see the MANY POSSIBILITIES of ways to MIX AND MATCH these assessments!

You might also be interested in my Paired Texts! Paired texts meet the demand for more rigorous, complex texts with Common Core- especially these passages that students can use to compare and build knowledge to integrate information and draw conclusions.
