ONE NOTE ABOUT THE INFORMATIONAL TEXT TASK CARDS IN THIS BUNDLE:

Informational text is now given over 50% of reading time and focus in class, as required by the Common Core Standards. This is because reading informational text is more difficult for students, and it requires more practice. As adults, it will also be the primary type of reading they will do. This makes informational text reading skills essential. Due to these requirements, the text on these particular task cards is a bit longer than on other task cards in this series. They still fall within the reading level of 2.0 to 2.9, (as determined by Okapi Readability), but will be more difficult for students. It is recommended that teachers start out using 12 task cards at a time to reduce the amount of reading text students must accomplish. More can be added as skills are acquired.

Other Teachers like you say:

"Love this resource! My students and I love scoots, and this one aligns so perfectly with our standards. Such a great way to keep my students engaged, but also gives me a lot of great information about where they are with understanding in different standards."

"These are a great way for my students to review! I have also used some of the questions as exit slips in my lessons. Thanks!"

"My students loved using these during guided reading and center time. This was an excellent way to get children moving while learning! Thank you for creating this amazing resource!"

"Love this set. My students enjoy playing Scoot while reviewing ELA skills. Thank you for your work."

Task cards can be used in many different ways:

1. Centers and/or stations…since task cards can be done in any

order, they are easy to share.

2. In pairs or small groups

3. Whole class

a. Quick review before going home, or to specials

b. Teacher reads question, students write answers on white

board

c. Use as an assessment. Task cards don’t feel like a test, so

test phobic students are more relaxed.

4. Independent work at seats

5. Send home for homework as reinforcement for students

needing remediation

6. Test Prep

7. Games..Use game boards and dice. Place task cards upside down above game board. As students move around board they must answer task card questions. Partners use the grading key to tell if the answer is correct. Student may only move if the answer is correct.

8. Scoot...Give one answer sheet and one task card per student. Give students 30 seconds to answer their task card question on the answer sheet. Set timer for 30 seconds again and say, "Scoot". Student leaves his/her card on their desk and move to the next seat to answer that question. When the timer dings say, "Scoot" again and students move to next seat until all cards are answered on the answer sheet.

9. Scavenger Hunt...Hide cards around the classroom. Give each student one answer sheet. Students search for cards and answer them as they are found.

10. Jenga...Number Jenga blocks to 36 (or less if you wish). Students play in groups of three-four and take turns pulling them out. Students all answer the task card number on each block on their answer sheet until the Jenga blocks tumble.

11. Exit ticket...Pass one task card to each student plus one sticky note. Students answer on the sticky note and place on board on the way out the door.
