*Teacher’s note: It is recommended teachers number the paragraphs of the selection before handing copies to students. This helps students locate answers to questions with references to specific lines or quotations from the text. This particular reading selection has 148 paragraphs total. The signs that read “TIME SAFARI, INC.… YOU SHOOT IT” (2 signs total) are counted as part of the preceding paragraph and not as individual paragraphs.

This 57-question multiple-choice reading comprehension and analysis test on the short story “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury (from the textbook HOLT McDOUGAL LITERATURE, GRADE 9 ISBN-10: 0547115784) has questions from different levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy (revised). It will test students’ literal and interpretive understanding of the selection including: plot development, characterization, author’s purpose, point of view, making inferences, vocabulary, literary devices, figurative language, fact & opinion, analogies, main idea, summarization, and other elements of literature. Questions are modeled after standardized tests (SAT, ACT, and state tests) to familiarize students with the structure and vocabulary of standardized test questions. Questions are spaced 1.5 lines apart for comfortable reading. The questions also encourage students to go back and re-read key parts of the selection, a crucial skill for comprehension and improving reading stamina. Teachers are encouraged to remove/add questions as they see fit for their students. Answer key included. Editable MS Word Doc. You can use this product for years and years!
