Free Printable Flashcards: Contractions Flashcards

February 6, 2018 by Selena Robinson 2 Comments

We’ve got more free printable flashcards for you today! This time, we’re sharing free contraction flashcards with a fun construction theme!

My boys are deep into a construction phase right now. Roo, in particular, is obsessed with earth movers, bulldozers, cranes, dump trucks, and just about anything related to building.

He told me last week that he intends to be a firefighter, a builder, and a policeman. I told him that was good, because he could build a house. Then if the house caught on fire, he could put it out and take the person who caused the fire to jail. To this he replied, “And then I’d build it all over again!”

So, I made these flashcards to help him learn about language arts in a fun way. Read on to get your set! And for more language arts fun, check out Construction Contractions – our complete English contractions ELA lesson!

Free Construction Themed Contraction Flashcards

To use these contraction flashcards, you’ll need the following: (Affiliate links provided below. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

This pack includes eight basic English contractions, such as:

he’d
I’m
they’d
And five more!

There is one set of cards with the base words plus the contraction, and another set with just the base words.

That way, you can go over how to build the contraction and then quiz the kids on which contraction each pair of words forms.

Scroll down to get your copy of our Printable Contractions Flashcards!

You might have noticed that there are more than eight English contractions on the cards in these pictures. That’s because we have twelve altogether!

Want the full set of TWELVE English contractions flashcards, plus printables for learning how to build and use these contractions in writing? Grab your copy of Construction Contractions: A Printable Language Arts Lesson!

It’s loaded with 60 pages of language arts printables for recognizing and using all of these contractions with kids!

Free Printable Flashcards: Short Vowel Flashcards

February 1, 2018 by Selena Robinson 2 Comments

We’re back with another set of free printable flashcards! This time, we’re talking about short vowel sounds.

Personally, I didn’t learn to read with phonics and neither did our oldest daughter. Our oldest boy, though, really needed help with phonic sounds, so we focused on long and short vowel sounds pretty early.

I thought I’d make a set of short vowel flashcards to share with my lovely readers today! These are really simple to use and what makes them even better is that they’re FREE!

Read on to see how to get your set! And if you like these, don’t miss these long vowel flashcards as well!

Free Printable Flashcards: Short Vowel Flashcards

To use these flashcards, you’ll need the following: (Affiliate links are provided here for convenience. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

Printer (with ink)
Printer paper
Scissors
Laminator (to reuse the cards later)

Like our long vowel flashcards, these short vowel flashcards include words that help kids practice recognizing and differentiating short vowel sounds.

In this flashcard pack, you’ll find cards for the following short vowel words:

Alligator
Egg
Igloo
Octopus
Umbrella

The pack includes a set of cards with the pictures and words, a set with only the pictures, a set with only the words, and a set of each with pictures and vowels only.

Kids can practice matching up the long vowel cards with the word cards. Or use the picture cards to quiz them on their short vowel sounds!

Free Printable Flashcards: Snowflake Counting Flashcards

December 21, 2017 by Selena Robinson 1 Comment

Have you been missing our free printable flashcards? They’re back! Today, I’m sharing a new set of counting flashcards with a fun snowflake theme!

I really love the sight of falling snowflakes. Probably because we hardly ever see them down here in Georgia. The few times we’ve had snow, we’ve all gathered around to watch the flakes float gently in front of the window. It’s amazing.

For preschoolers, learning to count is a huge skill to master, especially by the time they enter kindergarten. These snowflake counting flashcards can help! Read on to see how to get yours free!

If you like these, don’t miss our free snowflake math factor printables or our All About Snowflakes Printable Unit Study!

To use these cards, you’ll need the following: (Affiliate links are provided here for convenience. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

Printer (with ink)

Scissors

These counting flashcards feature cards for the numbers 1-10 showing both numerals and pictures.

There is one set of cards with the number and the matching amount of snowflakes and then another set of cards with just the snowflakes.

They’re super easy to use for teaching numbers and reviewing counting concepts later on.

Be sure to let the kids practice counting each snowflake so they can learn to identify the quantities on their own!

November 12, 2015 by Selena Robinson 9 Comments

We’ve been sharing loads of free printable flashcards on the blog for the past year. Today I thought I’d round up the flashcards that are best for our tiniest learners – toddlers!

Piglet started tot school this fall, so she learns right along with our older kids when we have our homeschool lessons. During tot school, we try to focus on the absolute basics: counting, letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and some animals.

So if you’re teaching your toddlers the same concepts, here are 10 free printable flashcards for toddlers that are available right here on the blog!

10 Free Printable Flashcards for Toddlers

While I’m recommending these flashcards for toddlers, they can really be used for any age at all. Some preschoolers may need to focus on strengthening number and letter recognition, while some grade schoolers may enjoy using the animal flashcards as part of a unit study. Feel free to use them however you see fit for your kids!

Miles Davis Biography Mini-Unit

February 28, 2014 by Selena Robinson 1 Comment

Good morning y’all! We made it through yet another week! 🙂 It’s the end of the month, so it’s time for another entry in the Living History series! This month we’ve been learning about Miles Davis.

Miles Davis had a comfortable upbringing, but a very troubled life. Ironically, his experiences seemed to help him grow and change as a musician, which is what led to his extremely long jazz career. He also made some terrible choices, eventually managing to rebuild his life with the help of his family and his love for music. He is most certainly not a role model, but his perseverance in the face of serious problems offers a great lesson for kids.

We’ve put together a free Miles Davis Biography Mini-Unit that you’re welcome to use with your family! In this pack, you’ll find:

A kid-friendly biography of Miles Davis
Review questions to help kids remember what they learned
A Miles Davis crossword puzzle
And copywork based on an interview with the jazz great!

To download your copy of the Miles Davis Biography Mini-Unit, click the image or link below!

February 19, 2014 by Selena Robinson 2 Comments

¡Buenos días! I hope you’re all enjoying your week so far! As I’ve mentioned before, I’m back in school myself and one of my majors is Foreign Language, so I’ve been learning Spanish for the past few months.

The whole family has been interested in learning Spanish as well, so I thought I’d whip up a batch of free printable flashcards featuring Spanish opposite words! That way, the kids can build on their budding Spanish vocabulary.

What’s In the Free Printable Flashcards: Spanish Opposites Flashcards Set?

In this pack, you’ll find vocabulario de español for several opposite words, including:

big and small
old and young
happy and sad
day and night
plus a pronunciation key to help kids say the words correctly!

You can even use the English opposite cards to help toddlers and preschoolers learn basic opposite words. 🙂

Nat King Cole Biography Mini-Unit

November 28, 2013 by Selena Robinson 1 Comment

Hey everyone! It’s November and we’re sharing our latest Living History series mini-unit! This month we learned about the life and legacy of Nat King Cole. We put together a biography mini-unit about Nat King Cole’s career, along with a few exercises, and shared it with the kids.

We learned quite a bit about Nat’s life this month. For example, we learned that he learned to play the piano by ear and that he didn’t begin professional piano lessons until his pre-teen years. We were also interested to learn about Nat’s experiences with racism and how he refused to let those events make him angry or bitter.

After we completed the unit, we watched “An Evening with Nat King Cole”. All of us ended up singing his songs the rest of the day.

To use this unit with your family, feel free to download it by clicking the link below! And be sure to stop by next week to see who we’re learning about during the month of December!

The Living History Series: Dizzy Gillespie Biography Mini-Unit

October 29, 2013 by Selena Robinson 6 Comments

Hi everyone! This month’s Living History series figure was Dizzy Gillespie and today we’re sharing a free biography mini-unit about this jazz great!

Naturally, our kids didn’t have a clue who he was, so they got a chance to learn about Dizzy’s early life, career, and accomplishments. (Sidenote: We used to call Pooh Dizzy when he was a baby because of his cheeks. As you can see, he’s still got them!)
