Instructional Ideas

• Teaching ideas are available here
• Set up independent stations for each activity with the task card displayed prominently; for learners who need more guidance, provide assistance at each station for explaining instructions

Classroom Considerations

• Cards are very colorful and include an unnecessary color background; a version without the background is available here
• Worksheets do not include instructions, as students are meant to reference the task cards

Pros

• Provides blank versions of each card to add your own ideas
• High-interest vocabulary words and sentences will intrigue even the most reluctant readers
• Activities are naturally differentiated

Cons

• None
