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 am teaching my students genres to begin this year. This provided a great practice for them. Students completed it, then we had a great discussion going over each one. Thank you for easy prep work for my genre unit practice.
