Memorial Day Worksheets to Learn About Our Nation’s Heroes

Looking for Memorial Day worksheets?

These reading comprehension color by number worksheets will allow students to review reading comprehension strategies while learning about Memorial Day.

I worked hard to ensure that all the passages are respectful and sensitive since Memorial Day can be a trigger for students who lost military family or friends.

This is important to remember when discussing Memorial Day – so many people are affected and are remembering their loved ones.

God bless the great men and women who have sacrificed their dreams and lives to protect everything that our nation stands for.
