October Read Aloud Reading Comprehension Activities Digital and Printable

Want to keep your primary students engaged during read alouds in October? Students are so occupied with the excitement of Halloween, it’s hard to grab their attention. This resource will keep students engaged and motivated all month long. By adding quality literature, reading responses, and crafts to your teaching, students will practice important reading comprehension skills and have fun!

This resource is available in print and Google Slides versions so you may use it in the classroom or distance learning. Even the crafts are digital!

Seven crafts, reading responses, and a Fall bulletin board that will bring your classroom to life with the spirit of October. Activities include retelling, sequencing, making connections, and writing.

Fun and engaging lessons go along with the following books:

• The Nuts- Keep Rolling by Eric Litwin
• There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat by Lucille Colandro
• Frankencrayon by Michael Hall
• The Little Old Lady Who Wasn’t Afraid of Anything by Linda Willams
• Little Boo by Stephen Wunderli
• I Need My Monster by Amanda Noll

These books are Fall/October books in nature, but do not directly discuss Halloween, which is great for the entire month and for those who do not celebrate Halloween.

Keep your students busy and actively engaged with these exciting activities!
