Fall Decodable Passages + Comprehension Questions📖
These adorable fall decodables make the perfect cozy literacy center for phonics and comprehension practice. They’re also great for reading intervention groups. There are eight passages for different levels of phonics skills from CVC to words with prefixes and suffixes!
Calm, Cozy Fall Handwriting Practice (Grades 2-5)✏️
I’ve noticed more and more students struggling with handwriting, even in upper elementary. I’ve also noticed many students who lack basic world knowledge. These worksheets target both issues by providing handwriting practice while building knowledge about science and social studies topics.
Fall Elkonin Boxes for Word Mapping 🍏
These fall-themed sound boxes make phonics a little more fun! Just print once and put them into dry-erase sleeves to use again and again! I use pop-its or mini erasers to have students “tap” the sounds. Perfect for your small group or reading intervention table.
Fall Reading Comprehension Passages (Grades 3-5)🕷️
These high-interest nonfiction passages build knowledge and reading comprehension skills. Each passage includes simple lesson plans and activities for up to a week of lessons, so they’re perfect for small groups, whole group, or literacy centers. Fall topics include bats, spiders, and turkeys!
Festive Fall Grammar Worksheets (Grades 2-5) 🍎
These engaging fall worksheets are perfect for teaching or reviewing grammar at the beginning of the school year. There are worksheet packs for sentences, nouns, verbs, and adjectives/adverbs. Grab one pack or the bundle and have all your grammar lessons done for the season!
The best part about all of these fall structured literacy activities is that they’re completely no prep – just print and go! I hope your students enjoy them!
