Professional Commentary

After reading an informational selection about Russian astronaut, Shannon Lucid, students compare aspects of her life to a person they know or about whom they have read. This is a sample constructed response test item used in a past National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) assessment (for more information, see About NAEP). From this test item, a visitor may view the reading passage and choose to access information regarding general performance on this item, a scoring guide and student responses (in the case of constructed response items), and performance on this item by various subgroups. The NAEP web site also allows visitors to build a printable database of questions by clicking on "Add Question" in the upper right hand corner of the screen. NAEP Reference Number: 2005-4R8, No.6.
