This is a sample of my task cards that students can use to practice finding the meanings of words. They include QR Codes that can be scanned so students can listen to the questions. They don’t need to scan the code to answer the question - it just helps with struggling readers. There is an answer key included. Directions: Read each sentence. Use your iPad to scan the QR Code and listen to the question. Choose the word that has the same or opposite meaning as the underlined part in the sentence
