What educators are saying

My students have always struggled to identify theme. I appreciate that this offered repeated practice for my students. We only did a couple of the task cards at a time, so that they could practice theme repeatedly throughout our short story unit.
I love this resource. It's such an amazing resource to review and help the students prep for their FAST test. Thank you for sharing.

Description

Are your students in need of repeat practice when it comes to finding the theme of a story or poem? Finding a short and manageable practice that does not overwhelm students can be challenging.

These 20 theme task cards with text-dependent reading comprehension questions are the perfect solution to give your 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students the practice they need.

The use of well-known fiction stories will help engage your students as they practice answering multi-part (evidence-based selected response), hot text, and constructed response questions.

Great for Middle School students. Click for the Elementary set.

There are 20 short passages, 20 multi-part (part A / part B), 7 Hot Text, and 20 Constructed Responses. There is a theme question on every card, along with a mix of reading standards to help spiral in reading skills practice.

To help save time the answer key includes the Flordia B.E.S.T. Standards, as well as correlating Common Core Standards.

❤️ What teachers have said about this resource! ❤️

This was a perfect way to review theme. I used the task cards as both entrance and exit tickets throughout our theme unit. Thank you!!!

This was an excellent option to use with intervention classes. The task cards can either be used as such, or they can be used as handouts for students. I have used them both ways. Students enjoyed discussing the multitude of story excerpts as well as finding the evidence to support the theme.
