"I Go to School" Emergent reader

Picture
This is a predictable emergent reader that can be used for the first week of school, a Back to School theme, or any time during the school year. It is appropriate for pre-readers and early readers in preschool, pre-K and Kindergarten.

The reader emphasizes a sequence of things often done in the morning before going to school. On the last page, children can draw a picture of their own school, and/or themselves.

Here are the captions for each page of the reader:
  • I wake up in the morning.
  • I get dressed.
  • I eat breakfast.
  • I wash my face and hands.
  • I brush my teeth.
  • I pack my backpack.
  • I go to school.
  • Good morning, school!
  • This is my school. (Child draws own picture.)
Download

"Reading" Cut and Paste Sentences

Back to School emergent reading - cut and paste the labeled pictures to finish the sentences. Because of the repetition at the beginning, and the picture clue at the end, the children are able to predict what the sentences say, and are able to “read” them.

Here is a set of printables to use to develop and practice early cutting skills. Lines are straight, curved, and zigzag. The theme is Ways to Go to School, and the pictures can motivate a discussion. Cut each page in half, to make 2 worksheets. Children cut on the lines, from the bottom to the top.
