These question cards will engage your readers in a meaningful conversation about any fiction picture book or novel. There are sixty different questions included in the set. The questions cover: making connections, determining importance, visualizing the text, summarizing the text, making inferences, and thinking deeply about a story. What can the cards be used for? These Ask It! Cards can be used for guided reading groups, book clubs, literature studies, reading responses, whole class novels, homework prompts, and as a homeschool resource. How do I prep the Ask It! Cards? Simply choose if you would like to print the colored version or the black/white version (you can print it on any colored paper to match your classroom) and cut out. You can hole punch the corner and attach all of the cards together on a ring (or six rings - one for each category) for easy access and use! What grades do these work with? These cards are designed for 3rd-5th grade. If you teach a lower grade level (or need to differentiate) there is a Ask It! Junior Version available HERE. Teacher Review: "This is such a great go-to resource for both teachers AND students. I had them easily accessible for reading conferences or when I was planning, so helpful! But, I also had my higher readers use these on their own to reflect on their reading. They really enjoyed being able to challenge themselves!" -Brittany How are the cards organized? The Ask It! Comprehension Cards are separated into six main categories. Each category has ten cards. You can place them all on the same binder ring or separate them into six smaller sets. Can I print them for my students? Absolutely! I have printed the black/white version and had my students glue one on the top of a notebook page to respond to their novel that they are reading independently. You could also print them to send home with students! Teacher Review: "Very useful to have on rings and reference based on our learning targets for the week or unit. I like using them in small groups or for reading exit tickets and reading responses." -Leah
