Product description

From the author

Cut + Glue: Fruits combines word reading with picture matching. Students cut out fruit pictures and paste them into fields labeled with sixteen fruit names.

Two activity layouts are each supplied in color and black and white, with a labeled answer key. The eight-page PDF also includes a cover, teacher notes and a publisher page. Use the key as support, or assign a smaller selection of pictures for learners who need fewer choices.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Read sixteen printed fruit words and match each to the picture it names

  • Cut out a fruit picture and glue it into the matching labeled field

  • Name both everyday fruits and less common ones - kiwi, lime, tangerines, blueberries - in English

Teaching tips

  • Choose the color sheets for matching alone or the outline sheets for coloring as well.
  • Ask students to read the labels and place the pictures before gluing.
  • Use the key as a checking sheet or a support for learners who need it.

Skills covered

  • Reading single words - children read sixteen printed fruit words and decide which picture each one names before any gluing happens.

  • Cutting and gluing - the pictures are cut from the sheet and fixed into the fields with their fruit names, which puts fine-motor work and reading in the same task.

  • Fruit vocabulary in English - the two sets move from everyday words like apple and banana to less common ones such as kiwi, lime, tangerines and raspberries.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How do the two versions of each sheet differ?

One prints the fruit pictures in colour and the other leaves them as outlines for children to colour in. The words and the task are identical, so the choice is about printing and about how long you want the activity to run - the teacher page says as much.

Which fruits are covered?

Sixteen in all. The first sheet takes apple, blackberry, cherries, orange, strawberry, banana, lemon and pineapple; the second takes tangerines, lime, kiwi, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, pear and melon.

What does the booklet suggestion in the notes involve?

Cutting each finished sheet off to the middle and sticking it into a DIN A5 booklet, so the sheets build up into a running word book instead of being filed loose.
