The topics covered are:
Animals
Emotions
Family
All Latin American (Spanish-Speaking) Country Flags
Each colouring sheet has the corresponding Spanish term for the animal/emotion/country at the top of the page. For the Latin American flags section an idea could be to set up mini-research projects, where the class is divided into groups and each group has to find out the colours for their assigned country along with other interesting facts.
This resource is great to use during Hispanic Heritage Month, providing an opportunity for young learners to learn more about Latin American Countries. Sheets can also be cut out and used in Graphic Organizers for an endless range of activities.

GUIDED READING SKILLS Task Cards
Suitable for Grades 3 - 6 learners
These task cards will help you deliver outstanding guided reading lessons to your students. Understanding a whole story at once can be tricky or even overwhelming for some students; with these cards, you can divide reading tasks into manageable parts. Talk about the author’s message, the main idea of the text, the cause and effect of events and more.
Guided reading tasks are designed to help children develop their reading skills; reading together and aloud strengthens their reading fluency, pronunciation and their ability to find meaning within a text.
Often conducted in small groups of children with similar reading ability, guided reading sessions are a fantastic way of giving children more focused support when learning to read texts.
The cards are split into different subtopics that your guided reading lessons can be centered around.
These include:
Cause and Effect
Sequencing
Author’s purpose
Fact and Opinion
Prediction
Retrieval*
Each set of task cards includes sections of text with an accompanying question that targets a specific subtopic, helping to reinforce reading skills and topic knowledge.
If you need ideas for how to use these cards in your lessons, you could:
Separate your class into groups of similar reading ability and go through this task with each group.
Use this as a starter activity, or expand on the tasks to use them for a full lesson.
Ask your students to create a storyboard of the events on the cards, or draw and label a picture of what is being described.
Use them as prompts to inspire some creative writing, using characters or settings described on the cards.
