These informational text features task cards were a great addition to my reading instruction! The variety of questions kept my students engaged while helping them better understand diagrams, charts, and other nonfiction features. The cards were clear, well-organized, and easy to use for centers, small groups, or review. A very effective resource for reinforcing important comprehension skills—I’ll definitely continue using this!

These are excellent resources. My students struggle with text features so I'm able to use these at the teacher table and work with them on each task card to help them out.
