What's Inside
This three-page PDF contains two assessment modules mirroring formal English language proficiency exams. The first section offers a 5-problem conversational cloze task, where students complete a realistic dialogue by selecting appropriate responses. The second module presents a biographical passage about Ana Johnson, followed by 7 multiple-choice questions testing literal comprehension and the ability to distinguish between stated facts and missing information.
Mastery Evidence
The mock exam tasks align with RI.6.1, evaluating contextual coherence through dialogue completion and fostering precise evidence verification with "Doesn't Say" questions. These tiered tasks help teachers assess if students meet or exceed grade-level expectations and identify gaps in informational text analysis.
Standards Alignment
This assessment primarily focuses on `CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.1`, requiring students to cite textual evidence for explicit statements and inferences. The "Doesn't Say" option targets the higher-level skill of recognizing evidence boundaries. This standard code can be copied into lesson plans, IEP goals, or curriculum mapping tools for compliance.
How to Use It
This resource is best used as a summative assessment or mid-term benchmark. Administer in a quiet, timed environment to simulate formal testing. Use the dialogue section during review for formative assessment of context clue usage. Most Grade 6 students should complete the 12-task sequence within a 30-minute instructional block.
Who It's For
Tailored for Grade 6, this exam also challenges Grade 5 and can remediate Grade 7 students. It supports diverse learners with clear layouts and predictable formats. It pairs well with lessons on authorial intent or informational passages on Olympic athletes, providing data for targeted intervention based on comprehension gaps.
This Grade 6 Reading Mock Exam addresses `CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.1`, challenging students to verify informational claims against a biographical text. Research shows "Doesn't Say" distractors improve students' ability to distinguish between explicit text and unsupported inferences.

The focus on citing evidence promotes rigorous analysis of textual facts, aligning with EdReports 2024 guidelines for high-quality instructional materials and preparing students for standardized testing and advanced academic reading.
