Halloween Unit Study

Halloween is such a fun holiday! Remember when you were a kid, and you would love to dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating? Us too!

And now that we are parents, we love to see them get excited about Halloween too. But as parents, we also want to make sure that my kids are learning while they’re having fun.

That’s why creating a Halloween unit study is such a great idea. By incorporating a Halloween theme into their learning, they can stay engaged and excited about what they’re doing!

Read on below for our top ideas and pick the ones that are best suited for your kids.

Halloween Books For Kids

Many people imagine that reading aloud to their child is a simple activity with few benefits. But that’s just not true!

It’s a fantastic way to explore new worlds and have your child exercise their imagination. Reading aloud also helps them to develop important language skills, such as vocabulary and comprehension.

That’s why we recommend starting with one of these popular Halloween children’s books:

Below are some of the top-rated Halloween books for kids. Add them to your home collection or borrow them from your local library.

Room On The Broom: This has to be one of our favorite Halloween books of all time! The story follows a witch and her cat as they happen upon some animals who help the witch. There’s danger, mystery, and friendship in this adorable children’s story.
