Spiral Reading Review Assessments | ELA Test Prep | Analyze Two Texts | 5th

This is a set of four reading comprehension assessments that require students to analyze two texts on the same topic. There are 2 literature assessments and 2 informational text assessments. Each assessment has a set of paired texts and students are required to answer questions based on both texts. Each assessment also has a written response component where students integrate information from both texts in their response.

At the end of each assessment, students can complete the data tracking sheet to determine which reading skills they are doing well with and which reading skills they need to improve upon. 

The assessments are also available as a self-grading Google form assessment. These assessments can be taken by students who do not have Google student accounts, making them a great addition to this resource and a huge time-saver for you!
