My students participate in the 40 book challenge and these task cards are perfect to use for their reader responses. I connected each card to the specific reading standard and included some specific guidelines for them to follow in each response. I recommend printing these on cardstock and laminating them. Do these to simple steps and these task cards will last for years. Excellent resource for all ELA teachers!
