3rd Grade Spiders and Bats Reading Comprehension Passages

$5.75

These Spider and Bat Reading Passages and Comprehension Questions will do two things for your students. First, they will engage them, because they are seasonal and easy for students to connect to. These passages are perfect for Halloween! Second, they will give your students a chance to practice text evidence skills. Both lead to growth, which is a teacher's dream come true!

What is included in this download?

Four 3rd grade reading passages are included in this product, which makes it possible to last an entire month, depending on how you use it. This low-prep design only requires you to print and start teaching! You can print the passages and question sets front and back to minimize the papers you manage. Or, print graphic organizers and help students practice finding text evidence to support their answers!

Lesson plans are also provided for these passages. You can choose to grab one of the two lesson plan options to teach with. Each lesson plan page provides one week of lessons, but you can re-use with a second passage the next week to create another week of lessons in a snap!

If you need to teach your own lesson without my pre-written lesson plans, the passages and comprehension questions stand on their own! 

The four passages in this product are titled:

  • Bat Life Cycle (Nonfiction)

  • Spiders are Helpful (Nonfiction)

  • Spiders vs. Bats (Nonfiction)

  • Creepy Creatures (Nonfiction)

*Each passage comes with 6 multiple choice and 2 short answer comprehension questions. Answer keys are provided.
