TAP Cards: Informational Text Card Set for High School

Articles, speeches, and primary sources deserve the same close reading as any novel.

End passive reading of nonfiction.

Text Analysis Prompt Cards, or TAP Cards for short, give students evidence-based prompts that require close reading, analysis, and support from the text. This informational set works with any nonfiction text, and the classroom applications are countless: bell-ringers, discussion groups, stations, or exit tickets.

Each set includes 34 easy- to mid-level prompts and 34 higher-level prompts, 68 prompts in all. Aligned to Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
