A Year of Birthdays

Introduce the skill with a brief whole-class activity, such as calling out examples and asking students to give a thumbs up when they hear a year of birthdays in a sentence. Then let students work through the resource independently or in pairs, referring to a class anchor chart if one is available. When reviewing answers, ask students to explain why an answer is correct rather than just confirming it. These a year of birthdays resources work well as a focused practice activity, a homework assignment, or a warm-up at the start of a language arts lesson.

"A Year of Birthdays" is written for 1st Grade (Ages 6-7). If your little one is a year younger but already steady on back to school, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and a year of birthdays never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.

Yes, both. We made it for 1st Grade back to school, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with a year of birthdays. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
