What educators are saying

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.
Nonfiction is typically very challenging for students and understanding text features and structures are keys to comprehension. This resource is great practice or review for students! It's engaging and challenging.

Teacher Tip

Here’s what teachers are saying:

✏️ "These were so fun to use as we played a game of "Scoot" where the kids rotate around the room to answer the task cards. I used it with my fifth graders. The reading level was appropriate and it worked perfectly for a fun, different assessment." -Alissa C.

✏️ "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.
