FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “July Reading Comprehension Activities Freebies”

July Reading Comprehension Activities Freebies

by Sue Kayobie
Kindergarten, 1st grade

 

Are you looking for monthly Reading Comprehension Activities for your Kindergarten students? Look no further, and these monthly passages are perfect for beginning readers.

This freebies set comes in three formats. 2 pages of Reading Fluency, 2 pages of Reading fluency check cut and paste, and 2 pages of Reading Comprehension will suit the needs of your students. I have provided a copy of all those pages without the “dots” for tracking. These activities work well for a small group practice, fluency practice, class discussions, homework, and for assessment use.

 

Go to my TPT store to get more free monthly Reading Comprehension Activities.

Thanks!

Looking for that perfect “POP” to your TpT product? See if some of these backgrounds will work for you and your latest TpT products. Each background is a vector illustration, in PNG, 300dpi format. Vector illustrations are superior to other formats because they can be enlarged far more than traditional clip art, which becomes pixelated when enlarged. Vector illustrations don’t become pixelated. These graphics fit perfectly on a 8.5 X 11 digital paper.

Included in this package:
-6 different digital papers
-Terms of Use & Button

This zip file contains PNG and PDFs only. If you are having problems opening this zip file, please take a look at this first (Zip File Help). If you are still having problems, don’t hesitate to e-mail me at sciencegirllessons@gmail.com.
