✏️ “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.

I really enjoy how these are set up. It us very easy for students to understand what they need to look for and gives them the tools to do so. I often give this out during a choice board for students to practice finding their answer in a passage.

My students liked this resource. It helped reinforce skills so I use them as spiral reviews. Promotes student ownership of their learning and breaks down concepts using different engaging stories. Good for small group instruction and center activities.
