These 30 activity cards TEACH and REVIEW the Common Core Reading Standards. Common Core Standard RL.5.9 asks students to compare how two authors teach the same theme. RI.5.9 requires students to combine information from multiple texts to write or speak about a topic. These activity cards review both of these standards.

Common themes from literature plus science and social studies topics are included on the activity cards to provide useful knowledge as students simultaneously learn about the new Common Core Standards. This document includes a fully explained answer key and a printable box. Everything that is needed to teach these two standards is included in this document.

Use the activity cards:
*To transition into the new Common Core Standards
*As a guided reading center station activity
*For test prep
*As a self-teaching take-home review resource
*Or, more!
