Physical and Chemical Changes – Reading Passage
ELA, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Science, Chemistry, Grade 4, 5, 6, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Is it still the same stuff, or did something new form? This free physical and chemical changes reading passage builds that question into one snowy Saturday for grades 4–6. Nora rolls a snowman, watches a cup of snow melt at 32°F, sees steam bead on a cold window, mixes a trail snack, watches Grandma stir honey into tea and watches mud settle in a bucket. A burning candle then shows both kinds of change at once. The two-page passage runs about 720 words, with a state-change diagram and a card of five signs of a chemical change, each paired with a real example. Three question pages follow in seven sections. Students answer multiple-choice questions, name the state change in four everyday events, and sort six events as physical or chemical while writing the clue that decided it. They find the solute and solvent in seawater, soda water and hummingbird nectar, judge a classmate's claim that soda bubbles prove a chemical change, write three short explanations and finish with a vocabulary match. Grades 4–6: physical science, properties and changes of matter Seven pages: two passage pages, three question pages and two answer-key pages Teacher extras: a mix-ups card and a 10-minute salt-versus-baking-soda demo Free PDFs: full color and black and white

This free farm animals crossword is a simple first puzzle for kindergarten through grade 2.

A word bank runs along the bottom, below a line marked for folding under when a child wants a challenge. A second student page keeps the farm words working. In Part 1, children name six pictures, such as a fox and a web, and fill in the missing vowel. Part 2 asks them to sort the eight crossword animals into two-legged and four-legged groups.

ELA, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Science, Life Sciences, Animals, Grade 3, 4, 5, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Follow the energy from the sun through one pond in this free food chains and food webs reading passage for grades 3–5. A morning at the pond shows algae acting as producers, a snail grazing, a sunfish gulping the snail and a heron catching the fish. The second passage page explains how to read feeding arrows ("gives energy to") and shows how many chains join into a food web, with an illustrated pond web of eight living things. Four student pages put the reading to work. Students mark true or false and fix the false statements, explain with evidence, and predict what happens to sunfish and turtles if the snails disappear. They read the food web to answer five questions, put desert and garden chains in order, draw arrows that point to the eater and fill in a word bank. A schoolyard page has them draw and label their own food chain, then grow it into a web. A page of nine cut-out cards turns the pond web into a yarn activity for the whole class.

ELA, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Science, Life Sciences, Nature & Plants, Grade 3, 4, 5, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
A sunflower never walks to the kitchen for a snack, and this free plant reading passage starts there to show how plants make their own food. Over two pages, students learn what roots, stems, leaves, flowers and seeds each do, from anchoring the plant and carrying water through tiny tubes to photosynthesis and pollen. A labeled plant diagram, an "Inside a Leaf's Kitchen" panel and a card that follows one drop of water from the soil to a leaf support the text, which closes on how waxy leaves, spines and a cactus's thick stem help desert plants survive. Four question pages build on the reading. Students answer six multiple-choice questions and copy a supporting sentence, match five "job ads" to the right plant part with proof from the passage, and design a desert plant.

Making a snack, sorting laundry and finding your way across town all start with knowing the right words.

Students number the steps for doing laundry, work out two time problems, mark five ideas as safe or not safe, and write what they would do if they lost their family in a store or a cousin touched a warm pan.

Free Reading Passage: Classification of Matter PDF
ELA, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Science, Chemistry, Grade 4, 5, 6, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Students start in a sporting-goods store, where balls, tents and shoes each have their own aisle, and learn that this sorting has a name: classification. The free one-page reading passage then turns to matter, explaining that it is anything with mass that takes up space, and sorts it two ways. One way is by state, as a solid, liquid or gas. The other sorts elements into metals and nonmetals by their properties. Two tree-style charts on page 2 show both systems, and iron appears in each. Five question pages follow, with 22 questions in eight parts. Students answer multiple-choice questions, sort nine everyday items by state and complete word-bank sentences. Element clue cards for gold, bromine, nitrogen and carbon ask them to check a state and group and copy proof words. Later parts have students explain why gold and diamond land in different groups, fix three mistakes in a classmate's chart, build a classification chart of their own and re-sort it another way.

When a gray cat named Pepper has four kittens that don't all match, a boy named Leo starts to wonder why. This free heredity reading passage follows that question on one page. Students learn that offspring inherit a mix of traits from both parents, see how maple seeds grow into trees with the same leaves, and meet inherited traits that help living things survive, like a camel's long eyelashes. The last section shows that skills such as climbing steps or a chimpanzee fishing for termites are learned behaviors, not inherited ones. Three question pages follow. Students answer six multiple-choice questions, sort six traits as inherited or learned and add an example of each. In Trait Detective they study an imaginary animal family, the Moffins, to name inherited traits. They then match five scenes to words such as offspring and learned behavior and write two explanations, including one that corrects a claim about how a baby skunk gets its stripe.

Across two pages, students read how a reel mower snips grass the way scissors do, while a rotary mower strikes it with one fast-spinning blade hidden under a deck. The text also covers the safety bar, where clippings go, Edwin Budding's 1830 patent, the move to gas, battery and robot mowers, and why no single mower suits every yard.

Job Site Task Cards Bundle: 12 Workplaces for Special Education
Life Studies, Special Resources, Career, Life Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Adult Education, High School, Worksheets & Printables
Our students get hired at a short list of places: grocery stores, fast food, retail, custodial crews, hotels, warehouses, hospitals, offices, childcare centers, landscaping crews, animal care, and kitchens. This bundle gives you a task card set for each of those 12 workplaces, so you can teach the actual job before a student walks in the door for a work-based learning placement or a first interview. I've spent 20+ years in education, and I've watched a lot of students get placed at a job site with no idea what the job actually involves. A student who has never heard the words "carryout," "par level," or "FIFO" is going to feel lost on day one. These cards close that gap. What every set includes Every set uses the same layout, so students learn the routine once and you can move between job sites without re-teaching how the cards work: A teacher page with three support levels and a simple 2-week plan A job snapshot: the jobs at that kind of workplace, what a typical shift looks like, and what supervisors look for Words to know with pictures Task cards with real situations from that workplace Step-by-step procedure cards for the core tasks (bagging an order, cleaning a restroom, picking an order, folding and restocking) The safety rules that matter at that site, from chemical safety to knife safety to infection control An answer key The 12 workplaces Grocery Store: bagging, carts, produce, and the front end Fast Food: counter, drive-thru, and food safety Retail Store: folding, the fitting room, and the register area Custodial: restrooms, chemical safety, and mopping Hotel Housekeeping: beds, bathrooms, and safety Warehouse: picking, packing, and forklift safety awareness Hospital Support: infection control and patient privacy Office and Clerical: filing, copies, and answering the phone Childcare Aide: head counts, snack, and pick-up rules Landscaping: mowing, mulch, and heat safety Animal Care: kennels, feeding, and dog walking Food Prep: knife safety, labels, and the dish sink How teachers use it Before community-based instruction: teach the vocabulary and procedures for the site you're visiting next week Career exploration: rotate through all 12 workplaces over a semester so students can say which job they actually want Interest follow-up: after a transition interest inventory, pull the sets that match what the student said Independent work: once a student knows the routine, the cards work at a station with a para or job coach checking answers IEP progress: the procedure cards line up with task analysis data collection, so you can track steps completed over time Why the sets don't repeat each other Each set sticks to what is different about that workplace. General soft skills, like being late or handling feedback from a boss, live in my separate Soft Skills Scenario Cards, so you aren't paying for the same "what do you do if you're late?" card twelve times. What a week can look like Monday, introduce the job snapshot and the words to know as a whole group. Tuesday and Wednesday, work through the task cards in pairs or small groups, with Level 1 support for students who need picture cues and Level 3 for students ready to explain their thinking. Thursday, practice the procedure cards with real materials if you have them: a bag and some cans, a spray bottle and a cloth, a stack of files. Friday, use the scenario questions as a quick check, then talk about whether anyone would want that job and why. Two weeks per site is a comfortable pace; one week works if you are moving faster. Built to be read The cards use short sentences, pictures for key words, and a clean layout with plenty of white space. They print well in black and white, and the procedure cards are sized to fit on a ring or a lanyard for use on an actual job site. Who it's for High school special education teachers, transition and 18-21 program staff, job coaches, CTE teachers with students on IEPs, and homeschool parents preparing a teen for a first job. Print, cut, and laminate once, and you'll use these every year. The scenarios use made-up businesses and people, and all safety content is general awareness, not a substitute for the training an employer gives on the job. Contents Grocery Store; Fast Food; Retail Store; Custodial; Hotel Housekeeping; Warehouse; Hospital Support; Office and Clerical; Childcare Aide; Landscaping; Animal Care; Food Prep. Each set: teacher page with three support levels and a 2-week plan, job snapshot, words to know with pictures, task cards, step-by-step procedure cards, safety rules, scenario questions, answer key.

Functional Life Skills Reading + Math Curriculum for Teens/Adults
Life Studies, Special Resources, Math, Life Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Finance, Adult Education, High School, Worksheets & Printables
After high school, our students are going to read a menu, a grocery ad, an electric bill, a bus schedule, a medicine label, and a lease, usually with nobody standing next to them. This bundle teaches each of those real-life documents, one at a time, with the reading and the math together. I've spent 20+ years in education, and the most common thing I hear from families of graduates is some version of "they can read, but they can't read a bill." Functional reading is its own skill. It has to be taught on documents that look like the real thing. The same routine in every set Every set uses the same layout, so students learn the routine once and then focus on the content: 10 words to know, with pictures Real-looking practice documents from made-up businesses 12 Level A questions with pictures and three answer choices The same 12 questions at Level B with open answers, for students ready for more A real-life task that takes the skill out of the worksheet An answer key that shows where on the document to find each answer Because Level A and Level B use the same questions, you can teach the whole class together and still meet students where they are. That's real differentiation without making two lessons. The 13 sets Reading a Restaurant Menu: prices, sections, and adding up an order Grocery Ads, Coupons + Shopping Lists: comparing prices and planning a trip Reading Utility Bills: electric, water, and phone bills, due dates and amounts Reading Bus + Train Schedules: timetables, routes, and fares Reading Medicine Labels: over-the-counter drug facts, doses, and warnings Tipping + Splitting the Bill: receipts, percent, and money math Visual Recipes: measuring cups, fractions, and following steps Laundry Care Labels + Washer Settings: symbols and choosing settings Phone Skills for Everyday Calls: appointments, voicemail, and phone menus Monthly Budget Worksheets: a pay stub, a budget, and a spending log Bank Basics: deposit slips, a bank app, and checking statements Reading a Simple Lease: rent, deposits, and move-in costs Address Practice: envelopes, mailboxes, and address forms How teachers and families use it A full semester functional reading and money math course: one set every week or so, 13 weeks Community-based instruction prep: teach the menu set before the restaurant trip and the bus set before the ride IEP goals: the Level A and B questions give you clean accuracy data for functional reading and math goals Homeschool: a ready-made life skills course for a teen who needs direct practice before living more independently What a week can look like Day one, go over the 10 words with pictures and look at the practice document together. Ask what students notice before you ask any questions. Day two, work through the Level A or Level B questions, with the answer key showing students exactly where to look on the document. Day three, do the real-life task: order from the menu with a set budget, plan a grocery trip, figure out which bus gets you to work on time. If you have time, bring in a real document from your town and see if students can use the same skills on it. That last step is where the learning sticks. Built to be read Short sentences, pictures for key words, and documents that print clearly in black and white. The answer key shows where each answer lives on the page, so a para or parent can check work and point a student back to the right spot without giving the answer away. Who it's for High school special education and life skills teachers, 18-21 transition program staff, resource teachers looking for real-world reading practice, and homeschool families of teens with disabilities. Everything is printable and low-prep. All businesses, prices, and people in the documents are made up. The medicine label set is reading practice only, not medical advice. Contents Reading a Restaurant Menu; Grocery Ads, Coupons + Shopping Lists; Reading Utility Bills; Reading Bus + Train Schedules; Reading Medicine Labels; Tipping + Splitting the Bill; Visual Recipes; Laundry Care Labels + Washer Settings; Phone Skills for Everyday Calls; Monthly Budget Worksheets; Bank Basics; Reading a Simple Lease; Address Practice.

Transition + Job Skills Curriculum for Special Education, Grades 9-12
Life Studies, Special Resources, Career, Life Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Adult Education, High School, Worksheets & Printables
This is the big one. It's every transition and job skills resource I've built for high school special education, put together so you can teach the whole path from "what do I want to do after school?" to "I got the job, now how do I keep it?" without hunting for pieces. I've spent 20+ years in education. The students I worry about most are the ones who leave school with a diploma or certificate and no idea how to read a job ad, fill out an application, or call in when they're sick. This bundle is built around those exact moments. Part 1: Planning the transition It starts with the Transition Assessment Mega Pack: an intake screen, an interest inventory, four short domain assessments, parent and staff input forms, a present levels template, goals banks, and a data tracker. The Secondary Transition FAQs give your IEP team plain answers about postsecondary goals and transition requirements. The SSI at 18 Mini-Guide helps families plan for the benefits changes that come at 18. Three one-page planning ladders cover the questions families ask most: How do I get there? Where will I live? Who do I call? Part 2: Getting a job Students learn to read real-looking help wanted ads for pay, hours, and requirements. They build a resume from a template, with three sample resumes and a brag sheet to pull strengths out of students who swear they don't have any. The Job Application Practice Pack has fill-in forms, the vocabulary that trips students up, and spot-the-mistake pages. Then the Job Interview Practice set gives you 36 question cards and a mock interview rubric so you can run practice interviews with real feedback. Part 3: Keeping a job This is where most transition materials stop, and where most of our students struggle. The Soft Skills Scenario Cards cover 40 workplace situations: running late, a coworker who isn't doing their share, taking correction from a boss. The Following Directions Task Cards build 1-, 2-, and 3-step direction following with a work mat. The communication scripts teach how to call in sick, text a supervisor, and send a short email. Job math covers reading a work schedule, counting hours on a time card, and reading a pay stub so students understand why their check is smaller than they expected. Part 4: Data and daily routines The Task Analysis Data Sheets cover 20 life and job routines broken into steps, ready for IEP progress monitoring. The Life Skills Bell Ringers give you 60 short warm-ups on transition and career topics, so every class starts with something useful. How to use it As a full-year job skills or career readiness course for a self-contained high school or 18-21 class As a semester elective for students in resource or co-taught settings As a homeschool life skills and career course for teens As a pull-from library: grab the piece that matches the IEP goal you're working on this month Everything is printable and low-prep. Most sets follow the same pattern (words to know, guided practice, independent practice, a real-life task, answer key), so students learn the routine once and you spend your time teaching instead of explaining directions. A note on pacing You don't have to teach this in order. Most teachers I talk to start with Getting a Job in the fall, move to Keeping a Job in the spring, and use the planning pieces whenever an IEP comes up. Who it's for High school special education teachers, transition coordinators, job coaches, 18-21 program staff, CTE teachers with students on IEPs, and homeschool parents of teens who need direct teaching of work skills. Educational resource only. Benefits and adult services information is US-based and varies by state. Follow your state and district procedures. Contents Transition Assessment Mega Pack (27 pp) Secondary Transition FAQs for IEP Teams SSI at 18 Mini-Guide Self-Advocacy Communication Cards (Hand This Page + wallet card) How Do I Get There? Transportation ride plan Where Will I Live? Housing options Who Do I Call?
