What educators are saying

My students used this activity with a partner. They absolutely loved it. I enjoyed hearing the discussions they had while trying to decide on the right answer. I also enjoyed that the resource required them to do more than answer multiple choice questions.
This is actually a very good resource with a good number of task cards - enough to cement learning but not so many it becomes boring. Very pleased. Thank you.

Description

Are your students in need of repeat practice when it comes to finding the author's purpose?

These 20 non-fiction author's purpose task cards with text-dependent reading comprehension questions modeled after common core standardized test questions are the perfect solution to give your students the practice they need.

Great for SBAC & CAASPP test prep!

The use of short modern informational text articles will help engage your students as they practice answering multiple-choice, multi-part (A/B questions -evidence-based selected response), and constructed response questions about the author's purpose.

Great for middle school students. Teachers of other grade levels have found success. Click for the Elementary.

There are 20 short passages and 40 Standardized Test Style questions. There is an author's purpose question on every card and a mix of reading standards to help spiral in reading skills practice.

The task cards are leveled to help easily differentiate reading passages that will best meet your students' needs. There are 1 Low (6th Grade), 5 Medium (7th Grade), and 14 High (8th+ Grade). The levels are based on the ATOS level.
