Description

Are your students in need of repeat practice when it comes to finding the author's purpose? Finding short, manageable practice that does not overwhelm students can be challenging.

These 20 author's purpose task cards with text-dependent reading comprehension questions are the perfect solution to give your students the practice they need.

The use of short well-known fiction stories and modern informational text articles will help engage your students as they practice answering multiple-choice and constructed response questions about the author's purpose.

Great for middle school students. Fifth-grade teachers have found success. Click for the Elementary set or High School set.

There are 20 short passages, 40 multiple-choice questions, and 20 short answer questions. There is an author's purpose question on every card, along with a mix of reading standards to help spiral in reading skills practice.

What teachers have said about this resource:

“I have used them as a station, exit ticket, and bell ringer. My students also love to compete with their peers as we fill in our ‘what's the answer’ whiteboard. I have paired students up, grouped them, and had them work individually on these task cards. They are very versatile!”

"The excerpts allowed my scholars to focus on the skill and not get bogged down with too much text. The short texts could be reread in a short amount of time that led to increased fluency and comprehension."

"Easy to use task cards! Engaging texts with varied questions that ask students to not just identify but analyze author's purpose."
