Kindergarten At Home Literacy Packet
Disclosure: This post was written right when the world shut down due to Covid in 2020. The free packet below was put together to provide resources for teachers and parents during the school closures.
Many of us are now homeschooling our kids due to what’s going on in our world today. I know the sudden switch to learning at home is a big one so I want to help you out. I’ve been working all weekend on a literacy packet for kindergarteners. I just put the finishing touches on it and it’s ready to share with you!
I wanted to create something for kindergartners because I know many of you teach or have a child in this grade. I actually have a child in early kindergarten right now, so I’ll be using this packet with him as well. I took my fairy tale lessons and nursery rhyme lessons and made the lessons for kindergarten-age.
Here’s what this packet includes:
- 125 pages of printable activities
- printable booklets for these stories:
- Jack and the Beanstalk
- Little Red Riding Hood
- The Little Red Hen
- The Three Little Pigs
- Goldilocks and the Three Bears
- Mary Had a Little Lamb
- Jack and Jill
- The Itsy Bitsy Spider
- Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
- Hickory Dickory Dock
- Little Miss Muffet
- Row, Row, Row Your Boat
- Humpty Dumpty
- Hey Diddle Diddle
- Baa, Baa Black Sheep
- activities that work on the following skills:
- reading (or listening skills if they aren’t able to read the stories yet)
- comprehension skills
- sequencing
- rhyming
- syllables
- phonemic awareness (listening for sounds in words)
- fine motor skills
I want to point out that I am a big advocate for hands-on learning activities. I love sensory play, activities working on fine motor skills, and hands-on science activities. But right now your little ones might need some structured activities, like these. You may even be working from home right now and need some learning activities to keep your child busy.
You can choose to split the activities any way you’d like. Maybe you’ll focus on 1-2 stories per week.
If you are a teacher, you have my permission to share this packet with the students in your classroom. I want this to help as many people as possible!
I hope you love this packet and that it’s useful to you! Please share this post with anyone who would benefit from it! Fill the form out below to get the free packet.
Hello Angella, first of all, I would like to thank you for sharing the packet you are extremely generous. I am truly grateful. They are all very good learning packets besides from this will greatly help the children but it is also a big help for us, as parents and educators too. i am fairly new in teaching and would like to ask about your technique in curriculum, it is better to print it all at once and file in the binder and just pull it and photocopy it whenever I will use it or (I am planning to purchase some of your lesson plans in future after I figure out first how to organize it) shall I just create like a daily lesson plan then print it like a week ahead for their worksheet. I don’t know the best way to stay organized on my curriculum. Do you just print it whenever you need it or do you keep a binder to put your packet? I will really appreciate all your tips and help again thank you very very much for sharing this.
Thanks for your kind words, Lori! It’s really up to you how you use the packet. I originally designed this printable to be a packet that students could do at home during the pandemic. It is a lot for kids to do all at once and I wouldn’t recommend using it all in one day or even one week. You could do one nursery rhyme or fairy tale per week and print off what you need for each week.
Thank you so much for sharing. Your site is one of my favourites. These packages will enhance my teaching program and I am sure will be enjoyed immensely by the children.
THanks!
Hi! I found the form on my phone to get the free packet (I don’t see it when I’m on my laptop) just want to say thank you! I feel like I have a solid place to start and something to work with!
I’m sorry about that glitch. Not sure what that happened!
Hi, I’m new to your site. I was wondering what your system is…are some activities free and some cost? Or do you post things for free at first and then charge after a period of time? I was looking at the Kindergarten Literacy Packet that says it’s still downloadable for free, but when I click the link, it goes to a shopping cart-type page. Thank you for all these wonderful resources!
Hello! Yes, most printables are free and some do cost. This printable is completely free. You do need to sign up to be on my newsletter to receive the PDF for free. Hope that helps!
Thank you for your generosity, Angela. My daughter was so excited when j show her all the printables. And she’s looking forward to do the activitiy tomorrow 😀
