Here’s what teachers are saying:
✏️ “These genre task cards are great to help students understand the different genres. Gives them lots of practice to cement the skills.” -Misty H.
✏️ “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.
✏️ “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.

I loved using task cards as an exit ticket to show my students understanding of material. These genre task cards were great use for exit tickets and small group rotations.

It’s hard for 5th graders to sit still for very long, so I enjoy this resource and use it as a scoot activity. My students get to move while they are learning.
