What educators are saying

This resource is awesome! It was very challenging for my fourth grades, but we used it as a scoot around the class, so it was fun! Love that the questions are similar to state test questions.
I've used these task cards as extra skill practice for students in my reading support class. It's been excellent practice!

Are your students in need of repeat practice when it comes to finding the best summary of a text? Finding short, manageable practice that does not overwhelm students can be challenging.

These 20 summarizing 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 that find the summary of a passage.

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’ white board. I have paired students up, grouped them, and had them work individually on these task cards. They are very versatile!”

"Thanks so much! These were a great resource to use online. My students struggled with summarizing, so these are quick and easy ways to help."

"I LOVE ALL OF THESE PRODUCTS! They are perfectly aligned to the TEKS and are so helpful in giving students extra practice in hard standards! Thank you so much!"

"I used these task cards to differentiate for my higher students and they loved the challenge! It was a perfect way for them to stretch their skills and to give them additional practice, as they are fast finishers. Definitely recommend!"
