What educators are saying

I love using task cards and needed a way to review theme before the unit test. I found these and they helped to sharpen my students' skills.
Theme can be challenging for some students, so these task cards really help to hone in on that skill. The students can work alone or in groups to split up the cards and tackle the activity. I use them to display as a whole class bell ringer for text review, as well.

Are your students in need of repeat practice when it comes to finding the theme of a text? Finding short, manageable practice that does not overwhelm students can be challenging.

These 20 theme task cards with text-dependent reading comprehension questions are the perfect solution to give your students the practice they need.

The use of short well-known fiction stories will help engage your students as they practice answering multiple-choice and constructed response questions about the theme.

Great for middle school students. Teachers in other grade levels have found success. Click for the Elementary set or the High School Set.

There are 20 short fiction passages, 40 multiple-choice questions, and 20 short answer questions. There is a theme question on every card, along with a mix of reading standards to help spiral in reading skills practice.

What teachers have said about this resource:

“I have used them as a station, exit ticket, and bell ringer. My students also love to compete with their peers as we fill in our ‘what's the answer’ white board. I have paired students up, grouped them, and had them work individually on these task cards. They are very versatile!”

"My students loved this resource for playing scoot. I had the cards all along the walls and they went around with their recording sheet and answered the questions. They got a lot of extra practice with the theme while still being able to get up and be active!"

"These were very challenging for my students and provided much-needed practice for the state test. I really appreciate you including the Lexile level for each card. It helped me to differentiate for my different groups! "
