The Best End of the Year Worksheets (That Allow You To Clean While Keeping Students BUSY & ENGAGED!)

Did this title put a smile on your face?

I think we are ALL guilty of this πŸ™‚

We want some free time at the end of the year to start all the tasks of cleaning up the space, but we also want students to be engaged and learning at the same time.

It’s a tough balance!

These color by number passages are the BEST.

Not only are they a blast, but students will be actively reviewing their reading strategies and practicing their comprehension skills.

That is a win/win in my book.

What is color by number reading comprehension?

Color by number reading comprehension is the most fun reading comprehension that you’re going to find!

As students answer comprehension questions, they are directed to what color to use on a black and white mystery picture at the bottom of the sheet!

When they finish answering, their mystery picture is revealed.

How dang FUN is that?!
