Elementary Skills Sample Pack
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Elementary Skills Sample Pack" is written for 2nd Grade (Ages 7-8). It also works a grade below or above: younger children can use it with an adult reading it aloud, and older ones as a quick refresher.
4 pages in this set
A word meaning match, math facts to 20 and a living or nonliving sort. A free sampler for grades 1 to 3. Part of our vocabulary & math facts english & reading collection.
How do I use this resource?
Use the fact sheet as a timed check: record the time, then repeat the same page a week later so students can beat their own score. The word match is a good small-group page; read each definition aloud for early readers. On the living or nonliving page, the toy duck often starts a useful discussion, so ask students to explain their choice. At home, children can hunt for one more living and one nonliving thing in the yard.
