Product description

This box of Fast Finishers comprehension cards covers:

  • High-interest short
    passages of text along with five comprehension questions
    that prompt students to identify and effectively cite text
    evidence
  • A variety of genres
    Comprehension-helper
    cards that provide kid-friendly definitions, tips,
    and examples to help students master reading skills

On each of the 100 text cards there is a passage
of age-appropriate text with an illustration and five comprehension questions related to the passage. The 10 different questions types in this fiction box are:

  • Cause and Effect
    - Questions focused on an event or action that makes something
    happen in a story and the result or consequence of that event
    or action.
  • Character – Questions focused on the characters of a story
  • Compare and Contrast – Questions focused on looking closely
    at two or more things (characters, settings, plots, etc.) to see how they are similar. And looking closely at two or more things to see how they are different.
  • Conflict and Resolution
    - Questions focused on the main problem of a story and the solution
    to, or outcome of, the problem or conflict. Not all resolutions
    are happy ones.
  • Inference – Questions focused on drawing
    a conclusion based on clues in the text and your own background knowledge.
  • Point of view – Questions about the story perspective
    i.e. looking at pronouns etc.
  • Prediction – Questions
    focused on using what you know from the text to make a sensible
    guess about what will happen later on in a story.
  • Setting
    - Questions focused on the settings of a story.
    Theme
    - Questions focused on the big idea or message of a story. A
    theme is conveyed by title, setting and symbols. It can also be conveyed
    by how its characters act, learn and change.
  • Tone
    - Questions focused on the way the narrator feels about the events,
    settings and characters in a story.

The fifth question
on each card will be a S-T-R-E-T-C-H question, a creative
thinking question such as writing sentences using words/phrases
from the story, describing something from the story, explaining
what might happen next, describing a real-life event that’s
connected to the story, asking an opinion on the story or character
from the story.

Age-appropriate helper cards provide
background information to help children respond knowledgeably
to the comprehension questions. There are 14 helper cards
in this box covering:
