WHAT MAKES IT WORK
Each passage is short, with questions right below it, so first graders can read on their own and show what they learned.
The facts are checked and kid friendly: bats are the only mammals that truly fly, many find food with echolocation, and some help flowers and fruit grow; each fact carries into word work, writing and math.
The worksheets are black and white to save ink, and the poster, the picture cards and the headband also come in bright color for your bulletin board.
No prep: just print and go. The picture cards need only a quick cut.
