Vocabulary-Based Two-Part Reading Comprehension Questions
With these prompts and suggestions below, teachers can create effective text-evidence reading passages with Part A and Part B questions that will help their students prepare for tests and improve their reading comprehension skills.
Creating multiple-choice two-part questions that are dependent on academic tier 3 vocabulary can be a challenging task, but it can be done with some planning and effort. Below are some steps that you can follow to create these types of questions:
Step 1: Choose the vocabulary words
Select academic tier 3 vocabulary words that are related to the reading passage or topic that you want to assess. You can find these words in textbooks, academic articles, or other sources related to the subject.
Step 2: Write Part A questions
Write a set of multiple-choice questions that test the student's understanding of the chosen vocabulary words. These questions should be at a level appropriate to the student's grade level and reading comprehension ability.
Step 3: Write Part B questions
Write a set of multiple-choice questions that are dependent on the answers to the Part A questions. These questions should test the student's comprehension of the reading passage, and should require the student to apply their understanding of the vocabulary words in context.
Step 4: Sequence the questions
Sequence the Part A and Part B questions so that the Part B questions follow the corresponding Part A questions.
Step 5: Review and refine
Review your questions to ensure that they are clear, concise, and aligned with your learning objectives. Refine your questions as needed to ensure that they accurately assess the student's comprehension of the reading passage and their understanding of the vocabulary words.
Example:
Here is an example of a multiple-choice two-part question set:
Part A:
What is the definition of the word "exacerbate"? a. To improve b. To worsen c. To maintain d. To ignore
What is the definition of the word "prolific"? a. Scarcely productive b. Average productivity c. Productive d. Non-existent productivity
Part B:
How did the author's poor time management skills exacerbate the situation? a. It made the situation better b. It made the situation worse c. It had no effect on the situation d. It is unclear how it affected the situation.
Why was the prolific writer admired by his peers? a. He produced very little work b. He produced an average amount of work c. He produced a large amount of high-quality work d. He never produced any work.
In this example, the Part A questions test the student's understanding of the vocabulary words "exacerbate" and "prolific," while the Part B questions require the student to apply their understanding of these words in the context of a reading passage.
