The easy readers are perfect as part of your Thanksgiving activities for preschoolers and kindergartners. Or use some of them during your next bird unit, or just because you and the kids are talking about thankfulness.

Thanksgiving Printable Books

Below is a collection of 10 Thanksgiving emergent readers to use with your students. So you’ll find ten different links with a short description of each of the books.

Click on the individual links to get to each of the individual books. There you’ll find more pictures about each of the turkey day readers, and you can get your hands on the free printables.

How to Prep the Thanksgiving Emergent Readers

First, let’s chat about prepping the mini books! You’ll need a few materials before you get started (I may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post):

• Printer
• Stapler
• Scissors or paper cutter

That’s really all you’ll need to prep the Thanksgiving printable books. And you might not even need the scissors for some of them! While you’re gathering supplies, pick up anything extra you’d like to use with the readers. Some possibilities:

• Crayons
• Markers
• Glue sticks
• Googly eye finger puppets

And then it’s time to assemble the books. Since there are ten different books, from a variety of people, each book assembly will be a little different. Here’s the general run-down of what to do:

• First, go to the individual book posts and get the free printables.
• Then download the files to your computer.
• Next, open the files in the most up-to-date version of Adobe Reader.
• Print the books you want to use.

After that, some books will have you print, fold, and staple. Others will have you print, cut, and staple. Either way, the specific directions will be included with each of the individual readers.

One you have the mini books ready to go, it’s time to introduce them to your students! The children get to be illustrators and writers as they make their own Thanksgiving easy readers.

• The Thanksgiving 5 senses easy reader from Fantastic Fun and Learning explores literacy AND the senses!

• Kids learn more about turkeys with The Kindergarten Connection’s life cycle of a turkey emergent reader. With all the talk of turkey during the holidays, this is a great one to add to your collection of Thanksgiving printable books.

• The turkey counting book from Growing Book By Book has kids count and place feathers on the turkeys. I love that you can add real or printable feathers to the book.

• Playdough to Plato focuses on the feast in the Thanksgiving foods book. What a great lead-in to discuss the children’s favorite holiday foods.

• DLT’s five little turkeys book incorporates rhyming and counting. I like that this reader works on counting backwards, too.

And there you have it! Ten Thanksgiving printable books your students are sure to love. Which emergent reader are you going to try first?
