Theme is a challenging concept. While these cards can be used for individual practice (especially when using the multiple-choice format), you may want to consider using them with your entire class or a small group by reading each story aloud and working together to determine the theme.

I use these task cards for reinforcement when teaching theme. We turn it into a game style with students making their prediction as to the theme of the passage. Great resource!
Ashley I. –
Theme is a difficult subject for students to learn. These task cards make it easier and they are no-prep. It could not get better.
Chelsea W. –
Great resource. Used in small groups with my T3 and ESE students. They did not have much difficulty with the assignments.
Amy C. –
This was a very useful resource for the students. It was easy to use in the classroom, as well! Very teacher friendly!
Miss DiRago –
A great resource for determining theme! I loved that there was differentiation on the recording sheets, allowing me to easily assign this to students and give them independence!
Lauren Rhoda –
LOVED! Our curriculum does not do a great job teaching Theme, so I bought this as a supplemental activity and my students were engaged and loved the format. Even better, they had a good understanding of Theme afterwards!

I used these as a follow up activity and I loved that the recording sheet had three versions. It made it easy to adapt it for my different learners.
