Teaching reading skills can be daunting; there is no doubt about that! We have to help each other out, so I want to share some fun reading comprehension games to make it just a little bit easier! It is just so rewarding to see your students engaged in their learning while building new skills and brushing up on old ones! There are reading comprehension activities for every month of the school year to ease your mind and have some fun with reading comprehension!
1.Monthly Themed Reading Passages
Having a high interest reading passage for each month is a great way to keep things fresh when teaching reading comprehension! I love the idea of having a new reading passage with questions every month to keep students engaged and reading a variety of texts! With a new selection of reading passages every month, there is something for every student to love!
2. Snowy Synonyms
How perfect is a snowball themed synonym worksheet for January? I find that bringing a fun theme into a lesson really boosts student engagement! I think it is just so fun to celebrate each season and new month that the school year brings while practicing all of those hard earned skills!
3. Haunted Homonyms
What better way to celebrate the fall than with some haunted reading comprehension games? Haunted homonyms is such a fun way to brush up on and boost reading comprehension after the first few months of the school year!
4. Cause and Effect Collaborative Learning
Practicing cause and effect relationships is essential to boosting reading comprehension and I love the idea of an interactive activity that students can do in groups! Students get to keep their learning fresh by practicing in the form of a matching game that is prepped and ready for your use!Â
5. True or False Worksheets
I swear true or false questions have a way of tricking students into thinking they are playing a game! I’ll take it! I love incorporating true or false worksheets following a reading passage or lesson for students to review what they have learned!
6. Monthly Reading Centers
Reading centers are some of my favorite reading comprehension games and activities. Not only do they keep students moving and interested in what they are doing, but having low prep centers to use for review or a reading block is such a relief as a teacher!
7. Reading Response Questions
Providing questions or reading response prompts following a reading passage is a tried and true reading comprehension activity. I love to make it feel more like a reading comprehension game by keeping things fresh with new monthly themed response questions and pages!
8. Monthly Themed Poetry Activities
I think poetry activities are such a fun way to incorporate reading and writing skills in the classroom. How fun is it to practice reading comprehension skills with a new themed poetry activity every month! Students have the opportunity to be creative and show what they know!
Reading comprehension skills are so so important but shouldn’t have to be boring! They also shouldn’t require hours of prep from you, which is why I have made a bundle of 9 months worth of reading comprehension games, worksheets, stations and more! The complete bundle is a life saver to have on hand year after year when you are looking for a way to freshen up your reading block and help your students grow!
