About this resource
Students choose collective nouns to name groups of animals across ten matching items. The word bank supports the first attempt, and the key gives you a way to review the completed page. Ask students to use a selected phrase in a sentence after matching it.
Curriculum reference — Ontario: Ontario Grade 2 explicitly includes collective nouns; England decision requires its own evidence. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
