When considering the integer-order derivative, exponential decay of the error is proved, and superconvergence points are located, at which the convergence rates are $O(N^{-2})$ and $O(N^{-1.5})$, respectively, better than the global rate for the one-point and two-point interpolations. Here $N$ represents the degree of interpolation polynomial. It is proved that the $\\alpha$-th fractional derivative of $(u-u_N)$ with $k<\\alpha
