Halloween Functional Reading and Party Shopping Life Skills Special Ed

Students read a simple party flyer and a price list then budget a classroom party under a set amount. Comprehension questions check understanding of dates, times, and prices, so students practice finding the facts they need in everyday print. The budgeting task builds practical money skills with real looking prices and a clear spending limit. An answer key is included for quick review. This packet supports transition age students ages 14 to 21 with practical reading and money skills. All content is original and adult looking, with no characters or brand names. It fits life skills classrooms, transition programs, and community based instruction. Print the pages and use them for independent work, small groups, or paraprofessional supported practice. The flyer and price list work well for discussion before students start the budget. Students can reread the flyer to check dates and times before answering. Use the answer key to review responses with students and talk through any mistakes. Print and go with minimal preparation, and use the packet again each fall. Made by Jeremy D. Gooch, special education teacher and transition coordinator. Drafting and layout had AI assistance; every page was checked by me.
