Reading Quick Check: RI 2.6 Main Purpose of a Text - 3rd Quarter

Reading Quick Check: RI 2.6 Main Purpose of a Text - 3rd Quarter This 2nd grade reading resource helps students identify the main purpose of a text, an important reading skill typically introduced in the third quarter. The resource includes two ready-to-use worksheets that serve as quick daily checks for understanding. Educators can use them as morning work, exit tickets, or short formative assessments. The reading passages in the worksheets are purposefully kept general so they can pair with any grade-level book. After reading a book, students answer two multiple choice questions related to the author's purpose. The concise nature makes it easy to incorporate these checks into the daily reading block. Use them for whole group, small group, or individual practice identifying an informational text's main goal.
