Reading Packet Puzzles

 

Note: Over the years I've added almost a hundred different packets, but haven't been able to update this page. Here is a complete list of reading packet puzzles. Also, many of these reading packet puzzles are now integrated into young learners units found here.

 

Each reading packet puzzle consists of anywhere from 4 to 8 sentences to be rearranged by kids in the way they would build a puzzle. I have found them to be an extremely useful resource in both early literacy and ESL settings.  The packets help to reinforce word recognition as well as grammar and syntax. From an early literacy perspective, the puzzle packets contain a lot of important sight words such as the ones found on the Dolch sight word lists. From an ESL perspective, the packets can be used to supplement many themes that are taught at the basic levels such as 'can,' 'numbers,' 'like,' and 'prepositions.'
