Delight your 3rd-grade students with "The Spooky Show," a fun Halloween-themed reading passage designed to strengthen their reading skills while practicing common consonant blends! In this charming story, Chase and his sister Shelly attend a spooky show at the town wharf. They’re thrilled to see flying bats and spooky ghosts, but the unexpected appearance of a playful cat brings laughter and fun. This engaging passage will capture students’ imaginations while reinforcing their understanding of blends like ch, sh, th, wh, bl, pl, fl, and sl.

• Phonics: Focus on consonant blends ch, sh, th, wh, bl, pl, fl, and sl to build fluency and word recognition.
