October Nonfiction Reading and Comprehension 

There are so many excellent aspects of October that students love! For instance, there are bats, owls, and pumpkins. However, it is also Fire Safety Month, which many students do not realize. Thankfully, there are reading and comprehension passages for all of these topics and more! 

Monthly Unit

The nonfiction in October units are perfect for integrating reading with science and social studies! Thankfully, this helps teach all the standards since it is always challenging to find time to do this. 

Each monthly unit includes reading passages, comprehension questions, vocabulary, writing, anchor charts, and more! On top of this, the questions all have students work on finding text evidence, which is a challenging skill to learn! Students will show so much growth in multiple skills when working on these passages.

While reading nonfiction in October, students will learn about bats, spiders, owls, pumpkins, and fire safety. Thankfully, these topics always mean students are super engaged in lessons while learning about life! 

Grade Level 

The October Nonfiction Reading and Comprehension have first and second-graders in mind. However, they can also work for other grades based on the ability of students. Since teachers know their students the best, they can determine if the passages will fit the needs of students. Students will love the fun and exciting passages! 

A Year of Nonfiction 

Students will love reading nonfiction in October! Thankfully, there are monthly units for the entire school year! Each month features 4-5 nonfiction topics students will enjoy learning more about. For instance, they will learn about community helpers and safety skills in August and turkeys and Veteran’s Day in November.
