Wording directly aligned with STAAR Reading Test and other state tests. The 12 task cards are all challenging expository texts each with two questions.

Drawing conclusions can be very difficult to teach. It is a type of inference that requires readers to comprehend the details, select and connect the details, then decide how those connections support a common idea.
