The Werewolf Who Was Afraid of the Moon Reading Passage -Halloween

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!
