A Spooky Night at School Reading Passage - Halloween Reading Passage
ELA, Reading, Writing, Holiday & Seasonal, Halloween, Holidays, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, 3, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Centers, Writing Prompts
A Spooky Night at School Reading Passage tells the comical tale of what happens when a group of kids gets locked inside their school for the night, only to discover that their imaginations are way scarier than anything in real life! As they jump at creaky doors and flickering lights, they quickly learn that a squeaky janitor cart isn’t a ghost, and that shadows in the hallways are just coat racks. This reading passage comes with a set of fun activities to keep students both entertained and learning. Activity 1 features two comprehension questions that check if readers were following along with the kids' ridiculous, over-the-top fears. Activity 2 asks students to match four spooky-themed words with their meanings, because sometimes you need a solid vocabulary to describe what’s not really happening. Activity 3 brings in some grammar fun, where students fill in the blanks with the right words, because even during spooky nights, proper grammar saves the day! Activity 4 continues with fill-in-the-gaps to help students complete the story. Finally, Activity 5 gives students a chance to flex their creativity by drawing a picture of what their own “spooky” school night might look like. Spoiler: It’ll probably involve more giggles than gasps! Enjoy!

The Little Skeleton Who Wanted to Be Scared Reading Passage -Halloween
ELA, Reading, Writing, Holiday & Seasonal, Halloween, Holidays, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, 3, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts, Activities, Centers
The Little Skeleton Who Wanted to Be Scary Reading Passage is a hilarious tale about a skeleton who just can't seem to get the whole "scary" thing right. No matter how hard he tries, people keep mistaking him for a friendly little guy, so much for being a terrifying creature of the night! This humorous story shows that sometimes it’s better to make friends than frighten them. The reading passage comes with fun activities that’ll keep kids laughing and learning. Activity 1 asks two comprehension questions to see if readers were paying attention (or too busy giggling). Activity 2 challenges them to match four words from the story with their meanings, because even skeletons need a vocab boost! Activity 3 gets into grammar, where students fill in the blanks with the right words (because skeletons don’t have time for bad grammar). Activity 4 is another fill-in-the-gap challenge, testing how well students can keep the story flowing. And last but not least, Activity 5 lets students unleash their inner artists by drawing a picture of what they think a “friendly skeleton” looks like. Spoiler alert: it’ll probably look more adorable than scary! Just don’t be surprised if they give him a smile. Enjoy!

Activity 2 challenges students to match four words from the story with their meanings, because even talking pumpkins need to expand their vocab! Activity 3 brings in grammar fun, where students fill in the blanks with the correct words, because nobody wants to hear a pumpkin say “I seen” instead of “I saw”!

Boo! The Ghost in the Closet Reading Passage - Halloween Passage
ELA, Reading, Writing, Halloween, Holidays, Holiday & Seasonal, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, 3, Activities, Writing Prompts, Worksheets & Printables, Centers
Boo! The Ghost in the Closet Reading Passage is a lighthearted story about a ghost who’s not very good at being spooky. Instead of haunting people, this ghost prefers hanging out in the closet and hiding behind sweaters. No eerie howls or floating through walls here, just a ghost trying to find its “scare” in a world that finds it more adorable than terrifying! Along with this funny story, there are multiple activities to keep readers engaged. Activity 1 asks two comprehension questions to check if students were paying attention to the ghost’s not-so-spooky adventures (and possibly to see if they’ve ever been afraid of a closet ghost!). Activity 2 has students match four words from the story with their meanings, because even a ghost needs to know the right words for things! Activity 3 challenges readers with grammar, where they fill in the blanks with the correct words (because who can be scared of a ghost with bad grammar?). Activity 4 continues with another fill-in-the-gaps activity , helping readers follow along with the story. Lastly, Activity 5 lets students bring their imaginations to life by drawing a picture of the ghost, whether it’s hiding in the closet or sneaking around in a sheet. Expect more giggles than chills! Enjoy!

Creative writing can be such an important part of your classroom. Sometimes we want students to write in a very specific manner. Other times, allowing students to write creatively can be rewarding for them. With this product, you get one of my Halloween writing prompts . You will get a graphic organizer so students can organize their thoughts before writing. You'll also get the first page for students' writing, which has a box for a picture, and the prompt written. The final page you'll get is for students to expand on their stories beyond the first page. Being handed a prompt can make it easier for students to get started on a piece of writing. Be careful, though. They could keep writing....and writing....and writing. So, make sure to give them some boundaries. (Ex: 2 paragraphs; 7 sentences; etc...) Having prompts that go along with a season or holiday can be fun for students. You could have this be one of your writing assignments for October. If you have younger students, or struggling writers, you could first brainstorm ideas altogether. You could write these on the board for students to refer back to for their graphic organizer . If you have older students, you could just hand them the prompt and let them go. You'll get a pdf with 3 pages.

The Werewolf Who Was Afraid of the Moon Reading Passage -Halloween
ELA, Reading, Writing, Holiday & Seasonal, Halloween, Holidays, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, 3, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Writing Prompts, Activities
The Werewolf Who Was Afraid of the Moon Reading Passage is a hilarious tale about a werewolf with the world’s weirdest fear, he’s afraid of the moon! Yep, the one thing that turns him into a howling, furry creature has him running for cover. Instead of embracing his inner beast, he’s dodging moonlight like it’s the IRS. This quirky story reminds readers that even the scariest creatures can have their own silly fears. The fun doesn’t stop with the story, though! Activity 1 gets things started with two comprehension questions, making sure readers understand why this werewolf is such a scaredy-cat (or scaredy-wolf?). Activity 2 lets students match four words from the story with their meanings, because even werewolves need to brush up on vocabulary when they’re not busy hiding from the moon. Activity 3 brings in grammar practice, where readers fill in the blanks with the correct words (because grammar errors are scarier than full moons, right?). Activity 4 keeps the laughs going with another fill-in-the-gaps activity. Finally, Activity 5 lets students put their creative hats on by drawing a picture of the werewolf, maybe hiding behind sunglasses or under an umbrella to avoid moonlight. No howling required! Enjoy!
