Your students know everything about Halloween candy. They probably don’t know that jack-o’-lanterns used to be carved out of turnips.

This passage takes students back to where Halloween started and follows the traditions forward to costumes and trick-or-treating today. It’s a great way to keep reading instruction going during a week when focus is hard to come by. Students stay interested because it’s about the holiday they’re already excited about, and the questions still ask them to think.

What’s included:

  • Informational passage on the history of Halloween (grades 3–4 reading level)
  • Key vocabulary bolded and taught in context
  • 10 multiple-choice comprehension questions
  • [Graphic organizer]
  • Writing prompt with rubric
  • Answer key
  • pages, black-and-white and printer-friendly
