These are phenomenal! I love the recording sheets. I can see them using it as a center and trying out each kind of task (their choice of card number) during a novel study. It could be done alone or in small discussion groups. Tons of possibilities! Could a set of nonfiction task cards be in your future...please? haha Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm so happy you are seeing all the possibilities. As far as non-fiction, I do have a set for Social Studies and Science in my store. They can be used with textbooks or any nonfiction reading selection (within the topics of social studies or science).
I really like this resource! I see so many possibilities. Thanks!!1
