Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Halloween Picture Word Mat for English Learners" is written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade (Ages 5-8). Children a grade either side can use it too: younger ones with an adult reading it aloud, older ones as a quick refresher.

How do I use this resource?
Keep the mat on the desk during any Halloween writing so students can find spellings on their own. Point and say each word together, then play I spy with the mat. Newcomers can point to a picture to answer a question before they have the words.

What does this resource teach?
⌄
One page with sixteen picture tiles, each a clear Halloween picture with its English word: pumpkin, bat, ghost, witch, haunted house, black cat, moon, owl, spider, web, candy, costume and more.
Can I use this vocabulary resource for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade ell resources, 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 vocabulary. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten to 2nd Grade vocabulary resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are vocabulary resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 5-8. 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.
