Do you need a full set of resources for nonfiction text structures to help your students practice their reading and analyzing skills? Would it be nice to introduce nonfiction text structures with anchor charts, equip students with a reference page for highlighting and annotating, and then practice identifying nonfiction text structures with kid-friendly reading passages?

Look no further. This versatile set of nonfiction text structure resources has your reading skills and comprehension practice covered. 

This nonfiction text structures resource includes:

• Printable text structures anchor charts with definitions and keywords
• PowerPoint text structures anchor charts with definitions and keywords
• Google Slides text structures anchor charts with definitions and keywords
• Reference chart for students including text structure types, definitions, keywords, and graphic organizer example. These pages come in a color-coded version that can be used as a key for highlighting and annotating or a black-and-white version.
• 20 full-color task cards with reading passages for students to analyze and identify the text structure being used. Laminate and use year after year.
• 20 black-and-white, printer-friendly task cards with reading passages for students to analyze and identify the text structure being used. Make a copy for every student in the classroom.
• Printable recording sheets for individual student work

Students will learn about the following nonfiction text structures:

• description

• problem and solution
• compare and contrast
• sequence / chronological order

You'll love having PowerPoint and Google Slides resources that you can easily display for whole-class discussion and analysis. I love using these one at a time as a bell ringer activities for the week. They also work great for class cooperative structures.

Your students will enjoy the kid-friendly reading passages about relatable topics like bikes, pets, movies, and oceans.

To prepare nonfiction text structures task cards:

For traditional task cards: Print one copy of each card page. Laminate for durability to use year after year. Print enough copies of the recording sheets or response cards for each student in your class. B&W, PPT, and Google Slides versions are included for versatility.

Here are a few ways I use nonfiction text structures task cards to practice reading skills in my classroom:

• Scavenger Hunt in the room-Hide the cards around the room and have students find and solve all the cards.
• Hang task cars on the walls or place in at a table to be completed as a language arts station.
• Use task cards as the content for a favorite game.
• Use task card reading passages as the content for a favorite cooperative learning structure such as Quiz Quiz Trade or Fan and Pick.
• Display reading passages one at a time (PPT version) and discuss as a class or use as bell ringers
• Assign a few slides a day in Google Classroom (Slides version).
• Print the black and white version to assign as homework.
