Students will cut out images of a butterfly in every stage of its life and paste the images in the correct order. This is a simple science lesson that will offer a visual to pair with a lesson on the life cycle. It could also be used as an assessment at the end of the lesson.

Choose between three versions of this "All about Insects" emergent reader! The booklet will have 8 pages total (including the cover). The first version has all words printed. The second has words printed in a dotted font so they can trace certain words. The third has fill-in-the-blank sections for students to answer as they follow along in your lesson (use the copy with all words printed as your guide). Mix and match the booklets to best fit the needs of your students. The clip art from David's Simple Teaching is the perfect blend of kid-friendly and realistic. Great for elementary and special education.

Use with my Parts of an Insect Worksheet for a quick, easy, and fun NO PREP assessment. Then, let them put their knowledge to work with an insect sorting activity!
