Story Elements Reading Response Task Cards

A set of 24 task cards which require students to think critically about specific story elements in their texts. These cards work with any book, but may require some pre-teaching or explanation based on the level of your students.

This resource includes:

• 24 Printable Reader Response Task Cards
• 24 Google Slides with Prompts
• Bookmark Version – Keep all reading response prompts on hand with these bookmarks for teachers, students, or parents.

**These cards are meant to enrich and extend ordinary thinking about story elements, moving beyond basic, literal understanding, and branching out into inferential, critical thinking. These cards are perfect for small groups, guided instruction, or independent work AFTER the story element or skill has been taught.
