Teacher Tip

Hereโ€™s what teachers are saying:

โœ๏ธ “These genre task cards are great to help students understand the different genres. Gives them lots of practice to cement the skills.” -Misty H.

โœ๏ธ “As always, this is a great resource. I love that students have to infer the genre from short passages. In other words, they are actually practicing identifying the genre, not just a definition of the genre. My students always love these task cards – both print and digital! Thank you!” -Jennifer B.

โœ๏ธ “These task cards were so helpful to my students as we were learning how to identify the different reading genres. Students were actively engaged and having fun while learning. I especially appreciated the references to familiar stories and popular media (Downton Abbey!) in the reading passages!! Thank you!” -Kristen D.
