How does this Thanksgiving reading comprehension work?

Let me tell you how these Thanksgiving reading comprehension color by numbers work!

First, students read a Thanksgiving-themed passage.

Next, students answer 4 comprehension questions about the passage.

Each multiple-choice answer has a color written next to it.

Students color part of the picture depending on their answer choice!

You receive 5 Thanksgiving color by numbers plus answer keys.

All the titles of each passage are listed below:

  • I’m Thankful (poem)
  • Pumpkin Pie (nonfiction recipe)
  • Thanksgiving Dinner (fiction)
  • The Thanksgiving Play (fiction)
  • What is Thanksgiving? (nonfiction)

What makes these Thanksgiving color by numbers so special?

Fun & Engaging

I mean… an activity is fun any time that coloring is involved.

Your students will LOVE these.

I’m serious.

Do not be surprised if your students ask for more of these!

No prep

Teachers are SO DANG BUSY.

Especially in November when we are rushing around trying to fit in ALL THE THINGS with all the missed days of school (Election Day, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving!).

So, we need our activities to be no prep and as simple as possible to prepare – yet EFFECTIVE.

These are no prep – just print and pass out to students!

Plus, you’ll get colored-in answer keys to make grading a snap!

Short & concise passages

It was really important to me to make the passages short and concise.

I often had students who would take an entire hour just to read an overly long passage – and never even get to the questions.

How do we assess students on comprehension if they never answer the questions?

These are short and to the point, so you can assess students on how well they understand the text.
