Want to give your students repeated compare and contrast practice? This set of 32 print and digital task cards is a great way to reinforce this important reading concept using a short amount of text. Each task card has a high-interest, short fictional passage to give your students focused compare and contrast practice. The topics are interesting and mix in a bit of information, like comparing dolphins and sharks, snow cones and shaved ice, or tennis and pickleball, all in short, conversational form. You can use them for reading lessons, reading centers, partner practice, whole-class games, exit slips, and more!
