Kindness at Halloween: A Story About Being Brave, Thoughtful, and Included!

Halloween can be loud and spooky, but kindness helps everyone feel included. This Peann Jan comprehension pack follows Lena and Ben as they learn that helping others, sharing sweets, and making everyone feel welcome can turn a nervous night into something special.
With three clearly differentiated texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch), this pack supports progression through key reading skills. Early versions focus on retrieval, sequencing, and vocabulary. Later versions introduce inference, cause-and-effect, and reflection.
Across all levels, readers learn that Halloween can feel overwhelming for some children. They see how sharing, helping, and taking turns can make the experience more enjoyable for everyone. They also discover that some people give out treats simply to be kind. The story shows that it’s thoughtful to include others who might be left out. While decorations and games are fun, the most important part of Halloween is helping everyone feel welcome.

What’s included:

• 3 reading passages written at different levels
• Black-and-white printable format for easy classroom use
• Matching comprehension questions for each version
• Full answer key with skill tags
• Traffic light self-assessment to support reflection

A gentle way to explore Halloween through empathy, inclusion, and thoughtful reading!
