How to make your worksheet

  1. Choose the kind of page: cards, tracing, word search, write the room, or a math page to count or add the pictures.
  2. Keep the apple words, pick another season, or type your own words.
  3. Choose color or black and white, and a design.
  4. Print. Read the words together first, then let your child work.

The reading skill

These pages help your child learn new words by sight. Your child sees each apple word beside its picture, reads it with you, traces it, finds it in a puzzle and writes it.

The apple words

Apple, tree, seed, basket, pie, leaf, juice, wagon, bucket, barn. Many of these cannot be sounded out by a beginner yet, so each sheet says that a grown-up reads the words first.

Four kinds of page

Cards to cut apart for matching and sorting. A page to read, trace and write four words at a time. A word search with words across and down only. A write the room set: hang the numbered cards around the room, and your child finds each one and writes its word. They fit apple picking time in the fall.

A apple week at home

Cut an apple open and find the seeds, then read the apple, seed and tree cards. After apple picking or a trip to the store, count the apples on the math page. Bake or buy an apple pie and find the pie card.

From seed to apple

An apple seed grows into a tree. In spring the tree has flowers, bees visit them, and small apples start to grow. In the fall the apples are ripe and ready to pick into a basket or a bucket. Some go to the barn, some become juice or pie.

Apple tasting

Put out a red, a green and a yellow apple. Taste each one and talk about sweet and sour. Count the seeds inside each apple and write the number on the counting page.

Can a preschooler use these?

Yes. Start with the picture cards and the counting page. The tracing page fits when your child can hold a pencil.

Good questions

When is apple season?

September and October. The pages fit the first weeks of school and an apple picking trip.

Can my child read these words alone?

Some of them, such as the short ones. Most are words to learn with the picture, so read them together first.

Can I use my own words?

Yes. Choose “Type your own words” at the top of the word list. A word we have a picture for gets its picture.

Which way do the words go in the word search?

Across and down only, never backward or on a slant. Words of two parts, such as candy cane, are left out of the puzzle.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
