Description
Restating the question is an important skill students should encounter prior to answering questions on reading assessments. These task cards provide students with that much-needed practice in a low-risk way. They can focus solely on restating the question without worrying about finding or recalling the answer in a text.
Each task card presents a question and the students simply provide the response by restating the question. (Note: The questions will not actually be answered in this activity.)
