What Are They Reading Assessment Worksheet helps third grade learners practice genres with clear directions and a clean, kid-friendly layout. Print it and it is ready for class, homework, or homeschool lessons.

Learning objective: Students will review genres, practice it in context, and show what they know in a way that is easy for the teacher to check.

Why it works: Students stay on task because the directions are short and the practice is the right size for one sitting. Teachers save time because the page is ready to print and easy to check.

What's included:

• 1 printable worksheet page

• Clear, student-friendly directions

• Cover page

How it's organized: The page opens with these directions: "Read many different kinds of nonfiction books this year. Record the date and title of each book you finish. Decide which kind of book it is, and shade the stars to rate it." Students then complete the practice items in order and check their work before turning it in.

Grade level: Designed for third grade students. It also works well for second grade and fourth grade students who need extra practice or a fresh review.

How to use it: Use it for whole-group practice, small-group instruction, independent work, centers, morning work, homework, or an emergency sub plan.

Answer key: This page does not include a separate answer key.
