I’ve never been much of a water person (probably because I can’t swim). But if I ever had the chance to somehow see a coral reef, it would be amazing. These complex, intricately designed living structures, with their beautiful colors and brightly patterned inhabitants, would be a sight to behold! Whether you’re a water person or prefer to stay on land, you can help your kids learn more about these incredible structures with this FREE Coral Reef Vocabulary Copywork.
