About this resource

Reading Quick Check: Author's Purpose 2 is an informative exit ticket or morning work assignment that allows Grade 2 and 3 students to demonstrate their understanding of author's purpose. After reading any book, students can answer 4 reading comprehension questions that target the author's intent for writing the text. Educators can implement this quick check in a variety of ways - as a whole group activity projected on a smartboard, printed out for small groups to discuss and complete collaboratively, or assigned individually as homework. This practical resource provides teachers, tutors and homeschooling parents a means to reliably assess if a student can accurately identify an author's purpose for writing a book.
