Middle School Halloween Unit – Teacher Feedback:
- “Excellent resource! Great articles, relevant comprehension questions, options for differentiation, and many assessments included.”

- “Great resource for the Friday before Halloween. We used this for ELA on that day and it kept them engaged and learning…while having fun.”
