1. 7 Reading Comprehension Assessment Pedro Fernandes | Librarian Rizalina C. Labanda

2. #1 Connect The ability to make authentic connections with the text is a strong indicator of comprehension. Students who struggle with comprehension because they have a hard time connecting the text to a concrete idea or experience.

3. Example

4. #2 Summarize Use the GIST (Generating Interaction between Schema and Text) summarizing strategy to assess comprehension. To assess comprehension, have students answer who, what, when, why, and how questions based on the text selection. Next, students condense their answers into a one-sentence summary.

5. Example

6. #3 Visualize Creating mental imagery while reading helps students understand, remember, and take away meaning from the text. Assess comprehension with a quick visualization exercise. Have students draw a picture that appeared in their mind while reading then describe their drawing using 1-3 sentences.

7. Example

8. #4 Organize Use graphic organizers to focus on one aspect of the text. You can have students complete a graphic organizer to assess understanding of the main idea, compare/contrast, problem/solution, fact/opinion, inference, point of view etc.

9. Example

10. #5 Retell Have students demonstrate understanding by retelling or describing the text in their own words. Use the beginning, middle, and end framework to help students remain concise and on the right track. This can only be done orally if you are able to work one-on-one with students.

11. #6 Sequence Assess reading comprehension using a sequence of events timeline or plot diagram. Set the number of events ahead of time. (5-7 events should be enough to assess understanding).

12. Example

13. #7 Predict This requires the reader to use information from the text to anticipate what will happen next. Student must have a strong understanding of the text. Use prediction writing prompts with quickwrites , bellringer, exit ticket, or journal entries.
