I though these would be good for my students to quiz each other about reading. At the 3rd grade level, I thought the questions were too hard but they’d be great for 4th and up!

I used these with my 5th Grade students during STAAR prep and their independent reading time. Teachers from another school came into the classroom to observe, and applauded the use of the task cards. They said it offered great discussion for the kiddos and kept them ON TASK. 🙂
