IB PYP Key Concepts Task Cards for Reading

Thinking skills are a large part of developing reading skills. Reflect upon and assess understanding of reading skills through the IB PYP Key Concepts with these super handy key concepts task cards. With fifty six question cards, this is a great tool for encouraging reflection, assessing comprehension of text and developing a conceptual awareness through the IB PYP Key Concepts, not to mention creative and critical thinking. These are designed to be used collaboratively, bringing depth to reading discussions with your students. Designed for most grades 3-5 reading standards & aligned with the IB PYP scope & sequence.

With higher level thinking skills being implicitly put into practice through these tasks, these reading skills task cards help to transfer transdisciplinary understanding; as a support with easy differentiation and flexible enough to use with collaborative discussion or independent work. These task cards add depth to those reflection questions for reading and can be used at any time for implicit practice with conceptual thinking.

These are a fantastic way to provide on-going assessment as your reading programme unfolds throughout the year. Use as prompts for self-reflection, monitoring progress and adding implicit practice with thinking skills.

The guiding questions provided on the front cover cards help to bring an awareness of the cognitive skills used within reading as the children work through the task cards.

Included:

• 56 task cards ( 8 for each key concept)

• Front cover card with guiding questions to provoke thinking for each key concept.
