Description
Introducing The Ultimate Bundle to Transform Your Students' Reading Comprehension! ⭐ Grab this bundle of my BEST SELLING reading comprehension test prep task cards at a discounted price! Are you ready to empower your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students to become more confident readers? These fun and interactive task cards will do just that! They are perfect for summer reading, workshop, ELA centers, fun end of the year ELA activities, reading comprehension scoot games, test prep, or for RTI reading intervention.
Each resource is slightly different, and many come with extra posters or worksheets! ANSWER KEYS & recording sheets are included! To save colored ink I usually print my task cards, glue them to construction paper & laminate. It also makes them more durable. Hence, these task cards are black & white. If you are you looking for low-prep reading comprehension activities, look no further!

✅ What's included: ✅
1. 24 Main Idea and Details (Differentiated)
The first set is multiple choice. The second set has the same stories, but students are asked to identify and write out the main idea in short answer form. This provides differentiation and more of a challenge for fourth grade and above.
2. Inference
The first set is multiple choice. The second set has the same stories, but students are asked to identify and write out their inference in short answer form. This provides differentiation and more of a challenge for fourth grade and above.
3. Theme (Differentiated)
Finding theme is made easier with differentiated cards 1-16, as they multiple choice options. Cards 17-24, are a little more difficult, as they are open ended and ask for a word or sentence. 3 posters are also included.
Use these 24 short passage cards to practice inferring character traits. The multiple-choice format makes these cards ideal for test prep or as a supplement to your reading skills lesson. These work well for reading strategy centers, stations, for partner work, or with the whole class using a game like Scoot. An anchor chart is also included.
5. Idioms
This resource includes 24 Idiom Task Cards & 20 Idiom Posters. The posters represent the figurative and literal definitions. They include a title, picture, definition, and example sentence. You can display them on the wall, or laminate & cut them into idiom puzzles.
This nonfiction text structure sorting resource is designed to teach 3rd, 4th, 5th, & 6th grade students about the informational text structures: Cause and Effect, Compare and Contrast, Problem and Solution, Description and Sequence . This printable resource provides several opportunities for students to practice identifying the structure of a piece of writing through worksheets & a hands on foldable / sorting activity.
Perfect for determining the meaning of unknown words. This resource includes 28 task cards. The anchor chart can be printed as a one page document or in larger sections, so the pieces can be hung together to form a 17 x 22 inch poster.
8. 40 Figurative Language
The cards include: simile, metaphor, idiom, hyperbole, personification, onomatopoeia, and alliteration practice. The first 24 cards are easier because they only provide one sentence to analyze. The next 16 cards are more difficult. These cards provide students with 3 sentence and ask them to determine which sentence matches a specific type of figurative language. This provides more of a challenge for more advanced students.
9. Cause and Effect Task Cards Game
Posters, 32 Reading Comprehension Task Cards, and Scoot Game Directions.

They simply need to answer the problem correctly to earn an extra spin etc.
