Teacher Tip

Here’s what teachers are saying:

✏️ "I used this resource as a center. My students loved answering the questions with a partner. There is just something about task cards that 2nd graders love! As their teacher, I love that these task cards align perfectly with our story elements standard." -Evie H.

✏️ "I have an extremely active group this year that thrives from scaffolded, differentiated instruction/activities, so I knew this resource was perfect for my students. My reluctant learners seemed to do well with completing one task card at a time, instead of seeing ALL of the work ahead of them on a worksheet. I varied the number of task cards I assigned students based on practice they needed at the time." -Sarah P.

✏️ "These are great for centers or group work to identify story elements. I like that the passages aren't too long so the students can't work on it independently." -Kristin P.

With two weeks of school left, I'm going to be doing a book study with my special education students. They love task cards and this will be a good way to review story elements. I show the task cards on the Smartboard and they write their answers on whiteboards. They take turns going to the board and circling their answer. Thanks!
