What’s that sound outside? A hoot, a creak… or just the wind?
This mystery-themed comprehension pack invites young readers to listen closely and think carefully as Bella explores the sounds of the night. With three clearly differentiated texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch), students progress from early reading skills like retrieval and sequencing to deeper thinking with vocabulary, inference, and understanding the author’s intent.
Across all versions, learners discover that every sound has a source, whether it’s an owl hooting or a gate creaking. By listening closely, we can figure out what’s nearby, even when we can’t see it. Some sounds are more common at night, but that doesn’t mean they’re frightening. Describing those sounds helps us picture and understand them more clearly. With a bit of careful thinking, even a strange noise can become something calm and explainable.
What’s included:
- 3 differentiated reading texts on the same theme
- Matching comprehension questions for each level
- Full answer key with skill tags
- Traffic light self-assessment
- Black-and-white, print-friendly format
Bring quiet curiosity and calm thinking into your Halloween reading table with a gentle mystery your class will enjoy solving!
