Text Features Trading Cards

Text Features Trading Cards

This is a set of 24 text features trading cards that you can use with your students when teaching reading. I created them to look like trading cards and my students LOVE using them!

This set includes:
• 24 text features trading cards with the word and a visual representation on the front and an explanation on the back.
• The same 24 text features cards with the words on them but blank spaces for students to draw their own picture and room on the back to write their own explanations.
• 8 blank cards that students can use to add more text features terms to if they come across them in their discussions, experiences, or studies.
• A template for a labeled box that students can cut out, write their name on and color to store their text features cards in.
• A list of ways you can use these text features trading cards with your students that is based on Robert Marzano’s “Six Steps to Better Vocabulary Instruction.” This list helps me because I can show parents, administrators, other teachers, etc. that I’m using research-based methods in my classroom.
• Trading Card Manual: 15 pages of tips and ideas on how to use these trading cards in your class.

I print these text features trading cards out double sided on card stock so they look and feel like real trading cards but they work just as well on regular paper.

• Text Features
