Classic Christmas Movie Supplemental Passages

This product contains nonfiction passages summarizing 4 classic Christmas films. The approximate Lexile® was found using the Lexile® analyzer found at Lexile.com. When I made this product I had my middle school students in mind and wanted to expose them to material that was seasonal, classic, unfamiliar, and motivating. I think it is appropriate for high school speech-language students as well. Each passage is followed by several comprehension questions calling for higher-order thinking and context clues.

Films include: It’s a Wonderful Life
Miracle on 34th St.
White Christmas
The Bells of St. Mary’s
