Why are these back-to-school worksheets so fun?

Coloring is involved!

I mean…. isn’t everything more fun when coloring is involved?

Adult coloring books have become super popular for a reason.

Something that feels tedious and mundane becomes something relaxing and a fun reward when suddenly coloring a picture is involved.

High-interest topics

These back-to-school passages are relatable to students!

Students right now are having all kinds of feelings about returning to school.

These passages reflect their own experiences, or experiences that they might see a brother, sister, or friend feeling.

Short & concise

I firmly believe that a passage SHOULD NOT take up a whole reading block.

A passage and comprehension questions serve the purpose of assessing if a student comprehends a text.

I used to deal with students who would take a full hour to read an overly long passage… and never even get to the questions.

These passages are short and concise.

There are 4 comprehension questions based on various reading strategies.

Assess the students’ understanding and comprehension of the text, but leave plenty of time during your reading block for other things (ALL THE THINGS!).
