Teaching Tip:
Spooky Independent Reading: Ask students to bring in small flashlights, and set the mood with a recording of a thunderstorm at low volume. Light candles or a jack-o’-lantern, and have children read by the glow of their flashlights. Later, ask students to write in their journals about how the spooky environment enriched their reading experiences.
