Guidelines for Administering Benchmark Quick Checks

Check the chart below before administering the Benchmark Quick Check Quiz. Ensure a student has an appropriate score on the Running Record first.

Benchmark Passages and Benchmark Books (Levels aa-J) have multiple-choice Comprehension Quick Check Quizzes and master keys. Use the skill tags on the answer key to see comprehension strengths and opportunities for additional instruction.
