Butterfly words to read, trace, find and write
Make butterfly worksheets for a child who is learning to read. Pick picture and word cards, a read, trace and write page, a word search, or a write the room set with a recording sheet. The 12 butterfly words each come with one of our own crayon pictures. You can also type your own words.
Your worksheet:
These pages help your child learn new words by sight. Your child sees each butterfly word beside its picture, reads it with you, traces it, finds it in a puzzle and writes it.
Egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, butterfly, leaf, tulip, daisy, bee, sun, plant, twig, ladybug. Many of these cannot be sounded out by a beginner yet, so each sheet says that a grown-up reads the words first.
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 a week about the butterfly life cycle.
Read the egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly cards and lay them in a circle: that is the life cycle. Each day, your child puts the four cards in order and tells the story. Trace the four words on the read, trace and write page, and count the butterflies on the math page.
A butterfly lays a tiny egg on a leaf. A hungry caterpillar hatches and eats until it is big. It hangs from a twig and makes a chrysalis, a hard green case. Inside, it changes, and a butterfly comes out, dries its wings and flies off to the flowers.
In late spring, look under the leaves of plants in the garden or the park for eggs and caterpillars. A caterpillar takes about two weeks to make its chrysalis, and the butterfly comes out about ten days later. Draw what you see each day.
Not quite. A butterfly makes a chrysalis; a moth spins a cocoon of silk. These pages use chrysalis, the word for the butterfly.
Egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly. The cards show each one with its word, so your child can put them in order and name them.
Some of them, such as the short ones. Most are words to learn with the picture, so read them together first.
Yes. Choose “Type your own words” at the top of the word list. A word we have a picture for gets its picture.
Across and down only, never backward or on a slant. Words of two parts, such as candy cane, are left out of the puzzle.
Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
No maker matches that yet. Clear the box to see them all.
“Behind in reading” can mean fourteen different things, and each one needs different help. Check off what is true for your child. You will see what to work on first, and what can wait.
