Palindromes

Palindromes can be words, phrases, dates, and times. A Palindrome is something that reads the same backward as forward. There are even Palindrome poems!

 Every year contains Palindrome Dates. Every Day Contains Palindrome Times! You don't need a special reason to teach Plenty of Palindromes.

 This resource introduces your children in the middle grades (3,4,5) Palindromes in a creative way. I’m confident this resource could be completed by a second-grader in a family with support in place - especially the word and phrases section!
