Here’s what teachers are saying:

✏️ "I initially found the individual task card sets, and had them all in my cart before I found the bundle! Thank you for offering these as a larger set. Not only do I use them in my RTI groups, but I use them as "exit tickets" to review the skills at the end of reading groups. So many ways to use- for small group, individual practice, and differentiation. Thank you and keep up the great work...I look forward to purchasing more sets in the future." -Stacey U.

✏️ "The BEST task cards! I just had to purchase the bundle because it was such a great deal. I have used these both for in class teaching and distance learning and they translate well to both settings." -Carrie C.

✏️ "My students have loved using this resource this year. We've used it both in the classroom and with distance learning. The task cards work great for small group instruction. They also sometimes lead to really awesome debates about topics and discussions about different reading strategies. Thank you so much!" -Mandi B.
