FAQ
How do I use the Holi Emergent Reader?
⌄
An adult reads each page aloud while the child colors. Cut on the solid line, stack the pages in order and staple.
What is the Holi Emergent Reader?
⌄
Four pages after the cover with 2 half pages on each: a Happy Holi cover with a name line and 7 numbered pages. The book starts with It is Holi. Spring is here! and goes on to friends playing, colored powder, dancing to music, a bonfire at night, sweets and bright patterns on the ground. The powder page has an adult note to keep powder away from eyes.
Can I use the Holi Emergent Reader at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Preschool to 1st Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Preschool to 1st Grade Holi resources are there?
⌄
3 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 21 Holi resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Holi activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Holi resources for?
⌄
These are written for Preschool to 1st Grade students, roughly ages 4-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Holi resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Preschool to 1st Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
