Imperfect Arthropods 3-Part Reading

Scratch & Dent Discount: These materials did not pass our strict quality control process, so you get them at a lower price. The error may be a small spot or hair under the laminate on one or more cards, color slightly different from our standard, an image printed slightly askew, or slightly curved laminate. Many teachers can't find the error, but we can! Each packet is complete. See all of our scratch and dent materials.

Arthropods 3-Part Reading Cards teach the vocabulary and classification of 12 common arthropod species. A classic Montessori material that is aligned with Science of Reading principles, these cards build reading fluency through repeated, self-correcting practice — strengthening orthographic mapping and vocabulary acquisition at the word level. Designed for Ages 5+

Jointed legs and a hard exoskeleton — that's what makes an animal an arthropod. Take a close look at the five main arthropod groups (crustaceans, insects, arachnids, millipedes/diplopods, and centipedes/chilopods) in this set, then go into greater detail with our crustacean, insect, and arachnid materials.

The 3-part format is built for independent reading. Students lay out the photo card, read and match the word labels to the photo cards, and then use the control cards to check their own work.

What's included:

• This packet features real photos of 12 arthropod species in a 3-part format plus a sorting label; 37 cards in all
• All cards are eco-laminated (food-grade) with rounded corners
  
• Lesson plan & description of the zoological group included
