Description: **UPDATED: Now with full audio accessibility!** In this 20 card deck, students read passages and identify the theme for each passage. A few examples of the themes included in these passage include: responsibility, family, kindness, perseverance, responsibility, and more. Students must infer the theme using clues within the passages. This deck is a great addition to assess students' ability to identify theme. Check out my deck titled "Support a Theme with Text Evidence." This deck uses the same passages and asks students to select text evidence from the passage that supports the theme. If you are interested in both of these decks, check out my bundle titled "Identify and Support a Theme." *Check out my growing 4th Grade Reading Comprehension Bundle for more great resources!
