Reading Quizzes
"Trust, but verify" (Old Russian Proverb)
Reading quizzes serve many purposes - but chief among them are: 1) Get students to do the reading (students are faced every day with many choices of what to do and not do - if they are not quizzed - the majority (by these upper grade levels) will not do the reading 2)Identify students who ARE doing the reading but not comprehending (and so intervention and a plan to improve that situation can occur) 3) Give students credit for the work (the reading) that they've done.
