This unit sparkles with holiday cheer! Inside you will find 18 Holiday Themed Reading Passages for Close Reading, Homework, or FUN! Each passage comes with one page of FOUR Common Core aligned questions and one super cute graphic organizer. You will also receive a cover page to use to build a packet.

Full Answer Key is included.

Inside you will find each informational text piece is duplicated. One copy has a border and the other doesn't. All other pages have borders. :) I did this for teachers who like to annotate and code the text.

I am incorporating technology into all of my units. The Table of Contents is on the second page. There you will be able to click the passage title and magically appear at the text desired. Saving you TIME.

Answer key is at the end of the unit. I printed each answer directly on the page.

The passages are not leveled. Therefore, I recommend these to be used as read-alouds for the first read for the lower primary grades.

Instead of using the word "Nativity" I used the phrase "Manger Scene". A manger is a trough used by cattle and horses.
