Your students will need age-appropriate nonfiction books to complete these cards. Ideally, one book should be used for most of the cards, however, it is unlikely that one book will include all of the text features, so additional books will be needed (or you can have students skip cards that are not applicable to their books). One option is to create a center with several books available for use. It is also best if the student has not read the book(s) before completing the cards.
These task cards explore the following 18 text features (one card per feature unless otherwise specified):
Teacher Tip
Hereโs what teachers are saying:
โ๏ธ “I am always looking for ways to give quick assessments and provide movement. I hang these around the room and allow the students to walk around answering the cards. LOVE it!” -Jennifer Mulherin.
โ๏ธ “Really helps make nonfiction more fun and friendly to the students. They seem more at ease with reading understanding after these.” -Leslie B.
โ๏ธ “A great resource for one-on-ones and small group instruction. Also great to encourage students to create their own goals with each skill!” -Maria Spucces

This collection has really engaging tasks gif the kids that really helps explain the purpose of text features. There are a variety of sizes and both colors and blank and white. A very complete collection.
Laura Lunsford –
We used this in our co-taught 5th grade class. 13/16 students are below level. I love how it was differentiated with the audio support. So much easier than reading individually to students with read-aloud in their IEPs.
Claudia F. –
I will definitely use these activities again. The worksheets can be used for wide range of grades. I used worksheets for MAP/i-Ready review and for fast finishers. I uploaded task cards link to Google Classroom using Easel from TPT. When I presented the task card whole class I used Google Slides that are included with your purchase.
Tonya H. –
These have been a great end-of-the-year review. There are so many discussions happening because I am having kids complete them in pairs right now. Iโรรดm sure they can be used other ways but because of when I purchased this product, it was a natural way to use them at the time. I love ALL of your task cards! They are a big part of my classroom and I think task cards are a bit under rated and valued, but not by me, and certainly not yours! They are wonderful!! Kids enjoy them more than you may think.
