✏️ “These task cards were perfect for small groups. The students were very engaged and this resource led to deep conversations around text structure.” -Danielle T.
✏️ “I used these cards as a mini lesson for a month to start of reading instead of spending a whole week of reading time on it. Worked wonderfully!” -Rachael B.

Love, love, love this product. The slides were easy to use and access for students. I used it as an assignment over a weeks time. The grading key was there for easy access to grade and it was a great workstation project for my students. I would definitely recommend and buy again.
