Paper Reading Glasses Template

Cut and assemble one of these awesome reading glasses designs to add some extra fun during your reading lessons.

Choose from the color or black and white option to have your students cut and assemble or color their own!

Create a super special routine with students grabbing their reading glasses before silent or guided reading.

📚 Read Across America

🚀 Reading centers

🧠 Fast Finishers

✂️ Give Them the (Safety) Scissors

This template makes for a bonus cutting skills activity, depending on your students’ ages and abilities. 

With adult supervision, cutting skills help students work multiple muscle groups and their brains, plus:

• strengthen finger and hand muscles
• build dexterity and fine motor skills
• improve hand-eye coordination
• develop focus and attention.

And all of these skills are necessary to use a pencil and a fork; button a shirt and tie shoes; write, type, and swipe.

Scissor skills are brain and muscle skills!
