Complete Comprehension: Fiction

If your student has demonstrated proficiency in reading beyond the grade level band on an F&P (i.e. level N for 2nd grade or V for 5th grade), then use this assessment to dig deeper to help identify 1.) if the student can do this work across a longer text, 2.) where the student needs support in this level (i.e. plot and setting, character, vocabulary and figurative language, theme and big ideas) and 3.) which strategies would best support this student in the identified areas of need.

To assess students, tell them that you want to get to know them as readers even more and one great way to do that is to see what they write about real books. Tell students that they can choose one of two books and that while they read, they will encounter small stickers that say "prompt 1, prompt 2." When they find those prompts, they will pause for a moment and answer that prompt with as much detail as possible on a Response Form. While they read, they will also fill out a Reading Log to keep track of how long it takes to read the book.
