Generic Literature Study Task Cards
Are you looking for a set of literacy activities that can be used with any picture book, reader or class novel? Teach Starter has the answer!
This set of 12 literature task cards has been designed to help your students engage with and personally respond to literature by exploring the text’s features. The tasks have been specifically designed to be used in conjunction with any literary text, making life easier when it comes to literacy planning!
The tasks address the following story elements:
- Setting
- Character
- Plot
- Language devices
- Illustrations
Scaffolding and Extension Tips
The beauty of these tasks is their open-ended nature! Students have the ability to engage with the tasks at their own level. More-capable students in particular have the option of taking these tasks as far as they are able to!
In addition to individual work, these cards can also be used for:
- Guided reading groups
- Whole-class reviews (via smartboard)
- Summative assessment

Great to hear how you're using them, Chloe! Thanks for your comment.
These are so helpful wether you are at home or at school you always have them beside you.
these lower primary literacy task cards are going to be a great help to the ASD students that I work with who just need a visual prompt to get their reviews of a story or piece of text started. They will also be of help to those students who need that little bit extra support during this type of lesson.
