What’s Included?
This resource includes 24 reading task cards. Each task card contains a short reading passage (half a page) and includes a variety of printing options so you can find the exact format that will work for your students’ needs.
Option 1: Just the Text
- You can print the task cards with just the text. This is a great option if you want to use these reading passages to teach something other than making inferences in fiction texts or if you plan on using them in a traditional task card way.
- There are all three different student response sheets included that you can pair with the task cards.
- There is also a digital version included created Google Slides.
Option 2: Text & Graphic Organizer
- This option needs to be printed front and back.
- One one side students have the reading passage (same as option 1), and on the back there is a graphic organizer to help students make inferences about a specific part of the text.
- This is a great option to help students organize their thinking about the text and to learn strategies that will help them understand how to make inferences.
- There is also a digital version included created Google Slides.
Option 3: Text & Reading Response Questions
- This option needs to be printed front and back.
- One side students have the reading passage (same as option 1), and on the other side there is a set of text-based comprehension questions and a space for a sticky note so they can “stop-and-jot” while they read the text.
- There is also a digital version included created Google Slides
*Each option also includes a digital version created using Google Slides so you can use this resource no matter what your teaching situation looks like.
