Description
I made these reading comprehension strategy cards based on my all-time favorite professional development book; Strategies that Work, by Harvey and Goudvis. These cards can be used in multiple settings (e.g., Guided Reading, Shared Reading, etc.) and with any level text. I print them on colored card stock, laminate, and the kids use post-its on them. However, they can also be printed on plain paper and used as traditional graphic organizer.
There is one card for each strategy:
-Determining Importance,
-Making Connections
-Visualizing
-Synthesizing
-Inferring*
-Asking Questions*
* Inferring and Asking Questions cards have two unique sides. The other cards are meant to have two identical sides.

Not appropriate for beginning of the year
This is very hard for me to implement until almost the third quarter. Week one has decimals, and my fourth graders don't learn about decimals until the third quarter. It also jumps into division and bigger multiplication early. I wish it had a few weeks of third-grade review.
Affixes Resource Pack
This was not exactly what I was looking for for a supplemental resource for my 5th grade class.
Not a "spiral" review
I wanted to like this so much because it was exactly what I wanted. But, Week 1 already starts talking about coordinate grids and volume, standards that aren't covered until later on in the school year. I wish it was organized by the order the standards are taught throughout the school year instead of introducing end-of-year concepts in the first few weeks.
Great Activities, but Limited Direct Instruction
This resource is advertised as a week-long unit, but in practice it functions more like one day of direct instruction followed by several activity days. There is only one PowerPoint for teaching, with the remaining materials focused on practice.
I expected a more balanced structure with instruction and assessment spread across multiple days. For example, I was able to use the PowerPoint and the second day’s worksheet within a single class period, and the “scoot” activity worked well for a separate day. However, I’m unsure how I’ll incorporate the remaining sketch notes, which might have been more effective if directly integrated into the initial instruction.
One major area for improvement is alignment between instruction and assessment. The assessments and task cards include concepts like “to be” verbs and auxiliary verbs, but these are not introduced or modeled in the PowerPoint. This created confusion for my students and could easily be developed into an additional day of instruction.
Overall, the materials are well-designed and engaging, but the unit would benefit from more comprehensive instruction and clearer alignment between teaching and assessment.
This starts off Running
I thought the assessments would get progressively harder but I do not feel I could start these assessments with my students week 1. I may be able to start them mid year

I accidentally purchased this when I had already purchased it on 9/28/21. Is there any way I could get a credit to use with you? I love your products.
Thanks for reaching out! Yes, please contact TpT directly at https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact, and they will help you with refunding your duplicate order.
Hi, I just purchased this product. It is exactly what I am looking for. Is there a way to print 4 posters on one page? I would like to print mini posters instead of the large formatted ones.
The only way you would be able to print them onto one page would be to go to the print preview and change the page sizing and handling. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide an editable version of this resource because it was created using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. Also, we are prohibited from providing editable versions of resources that contain commercial graphics.
Love these! Are these editable so that they can be updated for the 3rd edition of Strategies that Work? ~Synthesize/Summarize
Thanks so much for this awesome resource!
Unfortunately, I am unable to provide an editable version of this resource because I created it using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.
For the “Interactive Reading Strategy Cards” can you add/make a poster for summarize?
I don't have a set for summarizing, but I will consider your suggestion if I update the resource.
Do you have these listed for grades K-2?
Thanks!
Hi Michelle! Thank you for your interest. I don’t have a version for k-2.
Hello, thank you so much for this great resource. Is there a possibility of sharing the word document of these documents with me as my school is going paperless and we can only use google classroom? If possible I truly appreciate your help
Hello! Unfortunately, this resource was created in Adobe Illustrator, so I am unable to provide an editable version.
Do you have a poster for Main Idea and Supporting Details?
Hello! No this resource is based only on the 6 strategies listed.
I was interested in whether you could make a couple of additional cards with the Australian/UK spelling of Visualising and Synthesising, please? I am very keen to share the link to your work with my pre-service teachers over here in Aust. Many thanks, Kylie
Hello! Thank you so much for your interest. At this time I am unable to offer a version with UK spelling.
Hello, I was just wondering if you have the template or if you can make a "prediction" card. I feel like it's an important strategy and I would really love to have one, even if it's just the card. I can pay extra for it too. Thank you!
Hello! Unfortunately, I do not have such a template. I will keep your suggestion in mind for a possible update in the future.
Am i able to purchase just the cards and not the posters?
Hello! Thanks for asking. They are not sold separately.
