Read and Write about Magical Creatures (Halloween Special)

-
Hello friends,
Let’s talk about magic and the children’s fascination with magical creatures.

Magic and magical creatures have always been a source of fascination for children. From the stories of dragons and unicorns to the legends of wizards and witches, these fantastical beings and powers have a special allure for young minds.


One reason for this is that children are still in the process of discovering and understanding the world around them. They are naturally curious and eager to learn about new things, and the concept of magic and magical creatures offers endless possibilities for exploration and wonder. The idea that there could be creatures and powers beyond what we can see and touch is thrilling for children and allows them to let their imaginations run wild.
Speaking about magic, I found this really cute craft for children who love playing with magical items: I think this craft is perfect for Halloween and even Christmas so do think about giving it a try. Children can make fairy potions with a unique recipe book and decorate their potion bottles. I wish I was a kid!

Magic and magical creatures are a way for children to escape the mundanity of everyday life. Children often find themselves in a world where they have little control and must conform to adult rules and expectations. The idea of being able to have magical powers or befriending a dragon or unicorn can be very fascinating for children and it can be a way for children to imagine a world where they have control.


Hence, I decided to make these reading comprehension worksheets for 6-7 years old children. The passages are easy to read with no complicated words but at the same time, they are perfectly engaging for young minds. The questions are also very clear and simple but in many worksheets, I have also added an open-ended question where the children can explore their feelings about the mythical character and be creative in their responses.

Just print them out and your children or students will enjoy reading these cute passages on their favorite magical beings and answering the short, easy questions that test their comprehension; a win-win situation!

If you like doing worksheets with your children, then as a parent I would personally recommend purchasing an inktank printer such as HP Smart -Tank 6001 Wireless Cartridge-Free all in one printer. There are no cartridges just ink bottles and believe me, we have been using the printer constantly for the last 3 years with no refills.
I am in love with how economical and efficient these new ink tank printers are; the printer has made my life so much easier as I don't have to rush to the market to get printouts and the printer doesn't even require refills (for at least 2 years): a win-win situation! The following printer is available on Amazon so just click here to purchase it from the comfort of your home and get it delivered to your home easily and conveniently.

And a printer is incomplete without a set of economical A4 size printer paper. Do check out this great deal by Amazon: 500 sheets of A4 sized printer paper, a must in my home!


There are 4 cute worksheets covering mythical/magical creatures: fairies, mermaids, dragons, and elves 😊

If you like the quality of these worksheets and want more like these for your students, then you can get the 15 worksheets pack from TPT. I have covered more magical creatures like unicorns, phoenixes, cyclops, leprechauns, centaurs, pegasus, wizards, etc. hence, more magical fun for your children to read about these fantasy creatures this Halloween.

Jolly Phonics Group 1

Free Jolly Phonics Group 1 worksheets (s, a, t, i, p, n) According to Oxford Dictionary, phonics is a "method of teaching people to read by correlating sounds with symbols in an alphabetic writing system". In simple words, each letter of the alphabet has a sound. Instead of teaching young children the names of these alphabets, the sounds are taught. For example "a" makes the sound /a/...this is exactly the sound that comes from your mouth in the beginning when you say the word " apple " or " ant ". The letter "a" makes a different sound in words like " arm " and " ate " but these rules are taught later.  Jolly Phonics is a synthetic phonics system where all the letters of the alphabet have been split into seven groups. Each group contains 6 letters or their combinations so a total of 42 sounds are taught. What do I mean by a combination of letters? Remember that the combination of letters "s" and "h...

Free Jolly Phonics Group 2 worksheets (c/k, e, h, r, m, d) Hello Friends, I am back with another set of worksheets for helping children learn their phonics sounds. As you might already know, I am a strong proponent of the Jolly Phonics system of synthetic phonics sounds. Jolly Phonics system follows a particular order of teaching alphabet sounds in which there are seven groups. The following image shows the seven groups of Jolly Phonics along with an extra group taught by my Phonics app on Google Play Store. My app called  Phonics Fun  is 100% Free so you can download it and use it on all your Android devices.  It teaches all the letter sounds and different phonics rules and follows the pattern of Jolly Phonics but it is available for free. It is the perfect way to master phonics as you can hear phonics sounds and also test learning by playing many matching games. Coming back to printable Jolly phonics worksheets, I have already published worksheets for practicing...

Jolly Phonics Flash Cards

Gone are the days of A for apple, B for Ball...this is the time of synthetic phonics where each alphabet has a sound. Now, you don't teach children the name of the letter but the sound made by the letter. A has the sound that comes when we say the word apple, b has the sound that comes when we say bed, and so on and so forth. There are different systems of synthetic phonics but I have felt that Jolly Phonics is the best system. In fact, I made my first mobile app for my son based on the Jolly Phonics style of teaching. However, I know that many people want to limit screen exposure for their children so I decided to make these flashcards.  You can use these flashcards independently or you can use them along with my app called Phonics Fun , available on the Google Play Store. You can hear the sounds from my app. Practice using these flashcards and then, test learning using my app too...a win-win situation :) The Jolly Phonics flash cards are double-sided. I have told you in my previ...
