Turn Halloween week into an ELA investigation! Students become Test Detectives as they solve The Mystery of the Missing Halloween Treats through differentiated reading passages, text-evidence questions, inference, context clues, witness statements, grammar and editing practice, informational text, and evidence-based writing. The resource also includes a teacher guide and lesson plan, the 5-Step Detective Method, vocabulary code breaker, writing extension, 6 optional ELA centers, differentiation, and complete answer keys. Designed for Grades 3–5, this print-light, no-prep mystery can be used for whole-group instruction, reading groups, centers, test prep, early finishers, or Halloween week.
