Story Retell:
Story Retell is one way to measure listening or reading comprehension. This is usually done using a rubric as there are so many elements that need to be measured as well as the support that you may be giving to the student.
Reading A to Z has a story retell rubric for both fiction and non-fiction. Check your school if they have a subscription to this ( URI does).
