The Magic Pumpkin Plan: A Story of Teamwork, Creativity, and Quiet Magic!
When their big pumpkin doesn’t go to plan, Lena’s group must think fast and work together. Can teamwork and imagination save the day?
This engaging comprehension pack supports progression through three carefully differentiated reading texts. Early versions (Starter) focus on simple retrieval and sequencing. Standard builds vocabulary and introduces cause-and-effect. Stretch deepens thinking with inference, author’s intent, and opinion-based reflection.
Across all versions, readers discover that the children come up with a plan involving a pumpkin. Something unexpected puts their plan at risk, but they work together to find a creative solution. Along the way, they learn that kindness and teamwork matter more than winning. In the end, the pumpkin becomes part of a happy surprise.
What’s included:
- Three reading passages written at different levels
- Targeted comprehension questions with a clear skill mix
- Full answer key with skill tags for every question
- Traffic light self-assessment to support reflection
- Black-and-white format for easy print
A seasonal story that celebrates resilience, teamwork, and a little bit of magic!
