Reading comprehension without worksheets! Review Author's Purpose with these reading task cards! These task cards include fiction texts, fables, and nonfiction texts and review the reason the author wrote the text. Focus on persuade, inform, and entertain as the author's purpose in a text.

These 16 task cards each have a different texts. Each task card has 1 question - some are open-ended and some are multiple choice. They make a low-prep author's purpose activity to engage your students in reading skills practice.

There are so many ways to use these task cards to help your readers. Use in a literacy center for independent practice, or with a small group. For daily practice, answer one question as a class during the beginning of your reading block as a warm up. If you want to get students up and moving, use as a Scoot game.
