Grade 3, Set F (10 Questions)
Students read and understand grade-level-appropriate material. They draw upon a variety of comprehension strategies as needed (e.g.; generating and responding to essential questions, making predictions, refer to the text, comparing information from several sources). These are some of the many strategies used in 'close reading'.

From Mr. Anker Tests

Danny's Big Problem

Danny was a leader. All the kids in his class liked him a lot. He was friendly, he liked to help others, and could do any classwork easily. He was great at Math, using computers, writing stories, and his reading fluency was way over one hundred words per minute.

What was Danny's problem? He did poorly on tests. His teacher knew he was smart, but Danny didn't take his time on tests. Danny always wanted to finish fast. He would let some tricky answer choices fool him. He didn't always read the questions carefully, and he never wanted to re-check his answers. Danny's teacher hoped he would slow down.
