CONTEXT CLUES TASK CARDS (Set 1)CONTEXT CLUES TASK CARDS (Set 1)These 32 context clue task cards will help your students to better understand what they read and to improve their vocabularies. Great for test prep too! Students can use these cards individually at a center or they could also test each other in pairs. Another option is to use the cards with the whole class for the game SCOOT. An answer sheet is included for students to record their answers. They can also check their answers on the included answer key.

In addition, you will find a Challenge Card that can be used with any other card in the set. This card asks students to write a new sentence with the word that is featured on their card.

Print this set out in color. For black and white printing, please use the included black line version. If you are printing in black and white, consider printing on colored paper. Simply print and cut along the guidelines. Laminate and use them again and again. Alternatively, you could print on cardstock. It works well to keep them in a baggie. Another option is to hole-punch a corner of each card and put them all on a ring. A Cover Card for the set is also included.

This is Set 1, and is leveled for grades 3/4. Adjacent grade context clues task cards may be appropriate for differentiation. Set 2 (grades 4/5), and Set 3 (grades 5/6) are available in the task card section of my TpT store.
