Arthur's Halloween Freebies for Reading

Using Arthur’s Halloween freebies makes Halloween so much more fun in the classroom! Written by Marc Brown, this picture book is one of my very favorite Fall read alouds.

What a character! Arthur is always getting into some sticky situation and then goes through a series of changes before making everything ok again.

Teaching Arthur’s Halloween

I feel like I can teach just about any reading comprehension strategy or skill with Arthur’s Halloween. There are so many ways you can teach reading with this engaging text, I will typically use it for two or three weeks in October.
