Suspenseful Short Story Reading Comprehension – Halloween-Themed Color-by-Code Activity
Looking for a fun, no-prep, Halloween-themed activity to engage your middle or high school English Language Arts students? This Reading Comprehension Color-by-Code activity helps students review and practice their application of key content knowledge—while completing a themed coloring page! Perfect for test review, stations, early finishers, sub plans, or classroom fun!
Students complete 10 questions that challenge them to comprehend and analyze a suspense-focused short story.
After identifying the correct answer, students match it to the color code and color the corresponding section of the haunted house design. The built-in self-checking feature encourages accuracy, while the creative coloring keeps students engaged. Four coloring-page options provide differentiation and student choice. Answer keys are included for quick grading.
