Halloween Vocabulary, Read, Comprehend, & Write

Halloween is going to be around the corner before we know it so I have started to create some fun classroom items for our Sped population. I feel like a lot of things that I use have missing pieces to them. They either have some reading, but no writing component. Or it’s a great story but there isn’t any comprehension with it. Don’t even get me started on vocabulary to introduce the topic too, it’s almost always something I have to create myself.

That’s why I decided to put it all in one awesome packet. There are many options you can choose from or use them all for the month of October to teach halloween vocabulary. The worksheets are very visually friendly for our students who are starting to learn to read and fun because who doesn’t want to talk about Halloween?

Here is a breakdown of what the packet includes (available on Teachers Pay Teachers by clicking this link):

Here is a sample of the vocabulary page

The vocabulary page has 12 vocabulary words that are halloween themed, including three colors. Each item has the visual with words paired in a neat box to easily read and understand.

Here is a sample of a story page.

Next there are two story options to choose from. One includes all of the black colored items from the vocabulary list. While the other is full of the orange and white colored items from the vocabulary list. Once students read the story a few times they are then able to show what they know with the comprehension page (see below):

Here is a sample of one of the Halloween story comprehension worksheets

The comprehension sheets take most of the vocabulary and give students a direction to find the items that are the same color that they read about in their matching story.

Here is a sample writing page from the packet.

Students then take the vocabulary they read about and comprehension skills to the test by writing about an image from their halloween vocabulary. A great tool to use with these worksheets is a highlighter for those who may need a sentence frame to trace or are working on tracing letters at the moment.

I hope this gave you some great ideas of how to structure ELA time in your classroom and how to create a fun Halloween themed lesson! Get it here on my TPT store.

Until next time,

Happy Learning :)
