Grade 2, Set C (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).

From Mr. Anker Tests

Making Popcorn

Ann asked her father to help her make popcorn. “I’ll even get out the things we need,” she said. Her father agreed.

Ann found a large pan with a cover, some vegetable oil, and the popping corn. First, her father turned on the burner and adjusted the flame. Then he poured oil in the pan. When the oil was hot enough, Ann poured some corn into the pan and placed the cover on top. After a minute, the corn began to pop inside the pan. Then, Ann said to her father, “Listen to all the noise! Now I know why it’s called popcorn!”

Ann’s father poured the popcorn into a bowl. He melted some butter and poured it on top. Ann added some salt.

Ann and her father took the popcorn to the sofa and watched the movie, Matilda.
