You and your students will LOVE these winter holidays around the world reading comprehension color-by-numbers!
How does a reading comprehension color by number work?
First, students read the passage about the holiday (such as Christmas in Australia, Diwali, Las Posadas, Hanukah, etc).
Next, students answer 4 comprehension questions (I’m a firm believer that a reading comprehension worksheet should absolutely not take a whole class period to complete).
Then, students use their answer choices to color a matching themed picture.
Woohoo!
Students LOVE these (and will ask for more reading comprehension…. seriously).
