I LOVE these. I already purchased a set separately, so I was excited to find the set! I'm a task card fanatic, and these are perfect. Just the right amount of rigor, but not too difficult to be accessible to students. Thank you!

These have been perfect to use with my lower level students that need extra practice. I love how they are shorter texts, so it doesn't take as long, but still provide enough context to practice the skill.
