Are you looking for a fun and educational activity to bring the magic of Christmas into your classroom? The Christmas Reading Comprehension Escape Room is just what you need! Four unique reading comprehension challenges that focus on making inferences, character analysis, context clues, and elements of plot. Designed for students in grades 3-6, this engaging resource combines holiday excitement with critical reading practice.

➡️ What’s It All About?

This festive escape room features four unique reading comprehension challenges that will get your students thinking critically and working together to save the day. Each task focuses on an important skill:

• Making Inferences: Students read between the lines to find clues and draw conclusions.
• Character Analysis: They’ll explore characters’ traits and motivations to uncover key details.
• Using Context Clues: Tough vocabulary? No problem! Students will learn to decode tricky words by examining the surrounding text.
• Plot Comprehension: From the introduction to the resolution, they’ll piece together the sequence of events to unlock the next clue.

Every challenge is tied to TEKS standards, making it both fun and academically meaningful. Plus, the question formats mimic those on the STAAR assessments, so it’s a great way to prepare students for testing season without them even realizing it.

➡️ Here’s what’s included:

• Easy Prep Materials: Print-and-go worksheets that make set-up simple and stress-free.
• Built-in Decoder: A fun twist that adds a layer of mystery to every task.
• Clear Instructions: Step-by-step guidance to help you implement the activity smoothly, even if you’re new to escape rooms.
• Group or Individual Options: Let students work independently or in teams, depending on your classroom needs.

➡️ Suggested Classroom Use

• As a whole-class activity, fostering collaboration and a sense of holiday fun.
• In small literacy groups for targeted practice on specific skills.
• As a test prep tool, giving students hands-on experience with STAAR-style questions.
• For differentiated instruction, customizing tasks for various reading levels.
