How can you use this product in your classroom?
⬟ Each holiday/country in this unit is introduced through an interactive reader you copy and hand out to students.
⬟ Students read along with you, in pairs, or independently to learn about how each country celebrates its holiday.
⬟ Most pages in the reader are interactive, meaning that after the student reads the page, they need to add something to the picture.
Examples include:
⬟ "Draw the treats Elise might receive in her shoes."
⬟ "Draw the porridge in front of Nisse so he doesn't play any Christmas tricks!"
