Winter is here! While I know that not everyone will experience the same winter weather, it is always fun to bring a little seasonal fun into our learning! After reading some of our favorite snowman read alouds, this free Winter Easy Reader is great for building up reading skills in early learners. With its fun mitten theme, it is a perfect fit for these cold months!
*Pair this with our Easy Readers Mega Bundle!
Free Winter Easy Reader
Your students will love this winter reader! Like each of our easy readers, this book focuses on specific skills and patterns to help make early readers feel successful. It also focuses on the high-frequency words here and are, as well as color words red, blue, yellow, green, purple, and black.
This reader is super quick to get ready for your children or students. Simply download (below) and print double-sided, cut in half, and staple. This gives you two copies instantly!
This is great for the classroom because it saves on paper. And, it’s great for home because then you have a copy to read along with your child.

How to Use the Easy Reader
We first talk about the focus high-frequency words and, in this case, go over the color words.
This reader allows students to trace over the color word. This helps them remember it even more as they read it, write it, and color the picture to match.

They love to color the books and then read them with a partner.
Even the cover is super fun with a space for students to write their name that says “Colored by ____ .” This makes them feel like little illustrators.

I send the books home so that the students have a book they can share and read independently. It makes them so proud!
