Learn how to use Halloween Reading Response Sheets in your classroom and improve reading comprehension.

I love using reading response sheets in the classroom, especially during the holidays, and Halloween happens to be one of my favorite holidays.

Why should I use reading response sheets in the classroom?

Using reading response sheets in the classroom benefits your students in many ways. The biggest reason teachers love using them is because it greatly improves reading comprehension. All students can put to good use gaining problem-solving skills and increasing their critical thinking skills across all subjects. Also, most students find the response sheets preferable and more fun than a traditional worksheet.

Assess your student’s progress in reading comprehension.

You can also assess your students’ understanding of the text or newly acquired concept when using reading response sheets. These reading sheets make it simple to see where your students are making progress and where they need additional practice and instruction.

You can use the reading response sheets with just about any fiction text (and many nonfiction texts), so you are not recreating the wheel every time you sit down to write your weekly lesson plans. You can easily use the exact same sheets throughout the year to discover how your students are progressing in reading comprehension.
