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.
