What Teachers Are Saying:
"This resource is amazing for teaching nonfiction text features, specifically headings! Sometimes students have difficulty understanding how headings help them understand the text. With this resource, students actively use headings to predict and categorize information. I used these cards kind of like a "scoot" game, and the kids loved it! Thank you for a helpful and amazing resource!" - L. S. J.
"LOVE this resource! My students were able to identify headings easily, but using headings to categorize information was difficult. This resource gave them the practice they needed!" - Sarah
