What’s Included?

ABC Order

Teaching ABC order is an essential skill for all ages. In order to properly sort words according to the first letter of each word, students need to have a strong understanding of the alphabet and be able to identify letters clearly and quickly.

This worksheet provides children with an opportunity to alphabetize six summer words to the first letter. They’ll strengthen motor skills as they cut and paste the words in order on the page.

Labeling

One way that parents and teachers can help kids develop their vocabulary is with labeling exercises. This involves providing an object or picture and having kids identify the various parts or features of that object or figure.

This printable includes two labeling pages. On each one, kids will cut and paste six labels around the pictures.

Sentence Sequencing

In order to develop strong writing and reading skills, it is important to practice sequencing sentences. This can be done by completing activities that involve putting words and phrases in the proper order.

The summer sequencing worksheet included in this printable instructs students to cut and paste the words of a short sentence in order. Then, they’ll write the sentence on the lines provided for a little extra handwriting practice.

NOTE: These summer sentence sequencing worksheets will give your kids even more practice.

Tomato Life Cycle

The tomato is a relatively simple plant with a predictable life cycle. It begins its journey as a seed, which goes through several stages as it develops.

Share the book Tomatoes with your kids. It’s a short, nonfiction book demonstrating the life cycle of a tomato. Then, have your children complete the life cycle sequencing worksheet.

The Night Before Summer Vacation – A little girl and her family are getting ready to go on vacation . . . or at least they are trying to. In the effort to pack everything that will be needed, there’s bound to be something overlooked, and what that is provides a funny ending to this meter-perfect “twist” on Clement Moore’s classic.

And Then Comes Summer – When the days stretch out like a slow yawn, and the cheerful faces of Johnny-jump-ups jump up . . . then it’s time to get ready for summer! From flip-flops and hide-and-seek to fireworks and ice-cream trucks, from lemonade stands and late bedtimes to swimming in the lake and toasting marshmallows, there’s something for everyone in this bright and buoyant celebration of the sunny season.

Summer is Here! – Pick blueberries, see a caterpillar grow from an egg to a butterfly, or take a trip to the lake or beach with your family. Peek under rocks, look up in the trees, dive into the water–there is so much to learn and so much to discover together when you read Summer is Here!
