Quick Quizzes: Comprehension and Online Work
There is a generous teacher, Mr. Nessbaum, who has put together an impressive website for students and teachers. For our use this quarter, his reading comprehension lessons will be short quizzes that you will to take on your own in class with no help. It is up to you to choose the level that is comfortable for you. Follow the links to make that determination. Work at your level, 3 or 4, to complete as many quizzes as you can,as if they were timed.
Find an answer sheet to print at the bottom of this page. Put the correct letter of the correct answer next to each number on your answer sheets. Put the title of the piece you are reading at the top of each quiz paper. Turn these in at the end of the class periods when we work on these. These quizzes will help prepare you for testing and will help those of you who are in High School 21 to get familiar with various academic areas.
At the lower part of this page is an "interactive" set of quizzes that give you immediate feedback about your answers. We will use these to practice for the quizzes.
