HOW CAN I USE THESE TASK CARDS IN MY CLASSROOM?
These task cards can easily be incorporated into your reading block. Consider using them in the following ways:
- Use them as part of a reading workstation.
- Use them as a shared text during a small group reading lesson.
- Use as a quick assessment at the end of your unit.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN EACH TASK CARD SET?
Each set of task cards includes 20 (or 24) short reading passages (half page) and several different reading response options.
- Option 1: Just the Text – You can print the task cards with just the text. This works great if you want to use the task cards to cover a variety of reading skills or use them in a traditional task card way.
- Option 2: Text & Graphic Organizer – On one side students have the reading passage (same as option 1), and on the back there is a graphic organizer that matches the structure of the text. This works great to help students organize their thinking about the text.
- Option 3: Text & Reading Response Questions – 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.
*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.
