I have the PERFECT Halloween reading comprehension for your classroom!

These Halloween color by number worksheets will assess your studentsunderstanding of a reading passage while keeping students ENGAGED, MOTIVATED, and having FUN!

We all want to bring more seasonal materials into our classroom to celebrate the holidays and hold students attention, but it’s really tough to find where to incorporate these materials.

We only have so many hours during the school day, and the year is jampacked with standards that need to be taught.

This Halloween reading comprehension ROCKS because you do reading comprehension every day anyway – this is an easy way to make it seasonal!

Halloween Color By Number Reading Comprehension Worksheets

How do these work?

These Halloween color by number reading comprehension worksheets are SO DANG FUN.

Your students will love them – and will start asking for more on every holiday!

How do they work?

It’s simple!

First, students read the Halloween passage (I recommend highlighting as they read!).

Next, they circle the answers to the four questions.

Each answer has a color written next to it.

Students use their answers to color in the mystery picture!

What passages are included?

You receive a total of 5 reading passages with questions (and 5 answer keys, of course!) with this reading comprehension set.

There are four fiction passages and one nonfiction passage.

The passage titles are:

  • All About Pumpkins (NF)
  • Choosing A Costume (F)
  • Party Problems (F)
  • The Haunted Hayride (F)
  • The Perfect Pumpkin (F)

The passages are short, so you won’t take an entire class period completing them!

There are also four questions for each passage so you can assess the studentscomprehension of the reading passages quickly and efficiently.

Everything is also one page… because I can’t stand having to wait for a copy to staple pages!

What are teachers saying?

Teachers are LOVING these Halloween color by numbers!

Teacher Jordan W. said, “My students LOVE these. They’re short and sweet. They are engaging and easy for my students with varying disabilities to follow. Due to the short passages, it made it easier for them to go back and find info and highlight. They also enjoyed the relaxing aspect of coloring after reading.”

Teacher Dana M. said, “There is a good mix of harder questions that made students really think and some “right therequestions that allowed them to have success.”

WOOHOO!
