MY CART
Use these 32 genre cards to help your students learn to identify the different literary genres. Each card features a passage and a multiple choice question. The following eight genres are included and each genre is featured on four different cards throughout the set:
biography
realistic fiction
fantasy
mystery
informational
historical fiction
science fiction
folktale
A student answer sheet is included as well as an answer key so students can check their work. There is also a Challenge Card that can be used with any other card in the set. The challenge card requires students to explain their answer.
These cards will look best in color, but will also print out fine in grayscale. Simply print and cut along the guidelines. Laminate and use them again and again. Alternatively, you could print on cardstock. It works well to keep them in a baggie. Another option is to hole-punch a corner of each card and put them all on a ring.
Task Cards for a variety of topics can be found in the Task Card section of my TpT store.
Happy Teaching!

*My students still struggle with genre (5th grade). Thank you so much! Thank you so much. I bought so many of your products for state test prep but realized last night that I can use them next year throughout the year for formative assessments. I had to download your excel sheet to keep track of them all. Thank you so much! I will be leaving the same comment for all my products purchased though. I hope you understand. P.S. Any hopes on algebraic expressions and equations for 5th grade? :)

Just love your resources; specially since so many of them allow the children to self assess their responses, also immediately.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Rachel's task cards. (I'm embarrassed to tell you how many I own.) They are great for fast finishers, centers, and to play Scoot (in which the whole class practices a skill).

Melissa Pina (TpT Seller)
These cards are fabulous! I wrote the answers on the back of the cards and put them in a pile. Then I got a game board and a die, and paired my students up to compete against each other. Player one had to read the card, answer the question, and explain why they chose that answer. If they were correct they could roll the die and move that many spaces on the board. If they were not correct, then it was the other players turn. These cards are perfect for this and the students don't even realize they are learning.

Hi, Are the Standards listed ? Thanks.
November 4, 2012
Rachel Lynette (TpT Seller)
So maybe I am missing something, but when I looked at the CCS, I could not find standards that matched...at least not specifically. But I still think it is an important skill, so I made them anyway. If you can point me in the right direction, I would be happy to revise it with the standards included.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
Most of my teaching experience is with gifted and talented students in grades 2-4, though I have worked with children of all ages in general education classrooms as well. A few years ago I stopped teaching in order to write nonfiction children's books full time. Gradually over the last couple of years, my career has switched from writing to creating teaching materials here on Teacher Pay Teacher. I love creating teaching products (most recently task cards) and feel just as passionate about my work now as I did when I was teaching. I also love knowing that my products help thousands of teachers and reach tens of thousands of students.
