10640 : Halloween Reading Comprehension | 15 Short Stories & Questions | Grade 1 ESL

This 15-page set gives Grade 1 students fifteen short, simple Halloween stories — a witch searching for her lost hat, three pumpkins with different-colored faces throwing a party, a bat making new friends after outgrowing his fear of the dark, and more — each followed by three comprehension questions and a space to draw the story.

Every page follows the same format: a 6-8 sentence story in large print, three questions mixing literal recall ("How many pumpkins were in the yard?"), matching or picture-based prompts, and short inference ("Is the bat scared anymore? Why?"), a "What is the title of the story?" recall line, and a "Draw the story" box for students who finish early.

What's Included:

• 15-page printable PDF
• 15 original Halloween short stories, one per page
