We Remember: Día de los Muertos Emergent Reader

Read it together first, then let children read it on their own, point to each word and color the pictures. Send it home so they can read it to their families.

An eight-page mini book about a family getting ready for Día de los Muertos. Each page has one short, repetitive sentence and a picture: We build an ofrenda. We add orange marigolds. We add bread and a photo. We light the candles. We see monarch butterflies.

Yes. We made it for Kindergarten 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.

2 printable resources, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for Kindergarten to 1st Grade students, roughly ages 5-7. 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.

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 Kindergarten to 1st Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
