Earth Day is next week and I wanted to add something else fun this year: easy reader books. My youngest is really getting into these style of books.
We have been working on a lot of easy reader books for spring. This is one of the first ones that will be out for Earth day.
The Earth Day Easy Reader Book is a great addition to the Earth Day printables on the site.
What is Earth Day?
Earth Day is an annual celebration that honors the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness of the need to protect Earths natural resources for future generations. The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970
Earth Day Easy Reader Book
Earth Day is such a fun theme for kids to explore. We are doing lots of early reader books because kids love having their own books.
Each page of the book has something kids can do for the planet.
It will have the sight words: I can.
The Earth Day vocab words for the easy reader book are plastic, paper, can, plant, faucet, light switch, planet, recycle, and bag.
I made these Earth Day readers for her to use. We plan on using them with the Earth Day Learning Pack.
Earth Day Books to Read with the Earth Day Easy Reader Book
We love the book Recycle by Gail Gibbons. It is great to help kids understand about taking care of the Earth and what they can do.

I always get asked how I make the easy reader books. Here are the simple steps that I use to make the books. I use scissors and a stapler.
