This Autumn Sampler is my freebie of the season.  It’s a set of three autumn-themed activity sheets with a little bit of reading, writing, and vocabulary practice on each one.  I call it a “sampler” since each activity is one little part from one of my larger resources, and this week just seemed like a good time to post some details –  with “back to school” pretty much over and autumn nearly here.

Each activity sheet has a short reading passage with either several questions or a follow-up activity.  Three three passages are about a corn maze, a cornucopia, and the Jamestown colonial settlement.  The first two include questions, and the Jamestown passage has a follow-up summarizing activity that focuses on the passage’s text structure.

The other short activities on each page are either an editing or a proofreading assignment and a vocabulary question.  I’ve included clip art on each page that should appeal to upper elementary and middle school kids, and of course there’s an answer key.

Here you can see the page with the corn maze passage:
