How to Assess Fiction Reading Without Worksheets | Middle School ELA | Reading Comprehension

Описание: Middle School ELA Teachers - You've come to the right place!

Tired of worksheets that don’t really show your students’ understanding? In this video, I’m sharing five fun and meaningful ways to assess fiction reading that keep students engaged, encourage creativity, and give you better insight into comprehension. These strategies work with any fiction text and are perfect for middle school classrooms.

You’ll learn how to use:
One-Pagers – Combine visuals and text to show comprehension
Character Hot Seat – Role-play characters to reveal understanding
Text Message Conversations – Creative exchanges that reflect key events
Letters to Characters – Reflect on choices, growth, and story themes
Character Playlists – Connect songs to character arcs and growth

If you want ready-to-use versions of any of these activities, I’ve linked related resources in the video description.
