Pumpkin words to read, trace, find and write
Make pumpkin 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 pumpkin 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 pumpkin word beside its picture, reads it with you, traces it, finds it in a puzzle and writes it.
Pumpkin, jack-o-lantern, seed, vine, scarecrow, wheelbarrow, pie, hay, corn, leaf, wagon, barn. 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 pumpkin season in October.
Read the pumpkin, vine and seed cards, then open a real pumpkin and count the seeds you scoop out. At a pumpkin patch, find the hay, the scarecrow and the wagon. Count the pumpkins on the math page.
A pumpkin seed grows a long vine with big leaves and yellow flowers. A small green pumpkin grows from a flower and turns orange in the fall. At the pumpkin patch you can see the vines, the hay and the wheelbarrow that carries the pumpkins.
Cut the top off a pumpkin and scoop out the seeds together. Count them in groups of ten. Is the pumpkin heavy or light? Does it float in water? Write the seed and vine words after you look.
From late September to the end of October, around a trip to a pumpkin patch.
No. The pumpkin and the jack-o-lantern are friendly crayon pictures. You can type your own words to leave any picture out.
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.
