In this blog, we’re offering a FREE printable kindergarten/1st grade printable about jellyfish. The story includes short and long vowel phonics sounds and common sight words. The story is full of fun jellyfish facts for kids.
These beautiful, eerie creatures capture the imagination. Have you ever gone to an aquarium and expected yourself to be bedazzled by sharks and sting rays, but instead, are besotted by jellyfish? They are pretty creatures- iridescent, translucent and sometimes bioluminescent.
Here is the FREE 1st grade phonics pdf:
Jellyfish are beautiful, but they’re also strange and eerie. They are sometimes venomous and they have the ability to sting. While they move elegantly in the water, they’re also a slightly threatening force. They’re somehow mesmerizing and threatening at once.
The story is at a late kindergarten or 1st grade reading level. Children will have trouble reading rare words like “tentacles” and “lionmane;” thus, be sure to help your student through these tough words.
