Valentine's Day Passages Reading Comprehension Valentine's Day Escape Room

Are you looking for Valentine's Day reading passages and questions? A Comprehension Quest® is a FUN escape room style activity and is a unique way to get students excited about practicing reading comprehension!

❤️Here's how it works:❤️

Starting off with the hook video, students learn they have a quest to complete. In this edition, students must figure out who sent a secret valentine to the class. Students will read 6 passages and complete standards-aligned reader response activities. After each passage & response page, they will earn a clue that will get them one step closer to solving the quest.

FAQ:

How much time do I need for a Comprehension Quest?

I always tell teachers it takes however much time you would allow your students to spend on 6 reading passages. BUT, if you are short on time, you can use fewer passages and just give students more of the clues after each passage. The only rule about the clues is that they have to be given in order.
