Instructional Ideas

  • Do each type of worksheet as a group (project the worksheet) before asking kids to complete one themselves, as the directions may not be clear

Classroom Considerations

  • Although the worksheet packet recommends use with a text, the worksheets can still be used on their own
  • Some worksheets ask learners to copy words; however, the space may be too small for some early writers

Pros

  • Images are clear and easy to understand for youngsters

Cons

  • None
