The Holiday Series focuses on children's favorite holidays. Written specifically for emergent and early-fluency readers! Great for Reading First, Fluency, Vocabulary, Text Comprehension, and ESL/ELL! This reader focuses on the special meaning and traditions associated with Thanksgiving. Students will gain an understanding of why we give thanks for family, friends, and the traditional holiday feast.
This is an adorable picture book explaining the reason behind Christmas decorations and is written by Kimberly Roark. She did a wonderful job telling the audience what they decorate their house with then explaining how it relates to the meaning behind Christmas. I like how she tied it all together at the end of the book by saying "all of these decorations make the whole house beautiful!" Also, Jackie Urbanovic did a fantastic job illustrating the book to fit each page. Kids will love this book because it is short and very fun to read. This book is very informative to children who are not aware of the meaning behind decorations such as a "candy cane".
