The Christmas Story Advent Mini book and Reader's Theater
This unit is full of Bible activities for Christmas for your Kindergarten or first grade class. First, there is a fantanstic decodable Christmas mini-book for each child to color and read. Then writing pages are provided for students to write their own story. But my favorite part is the Reader's Theater Script and Character Headbands craft. Reader's Theater is one of the best ways to increase student reading fluency. Have fun and Merry Christmas!You might also like The Good Samaritan Decodable

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. They are the foundation for all other types of learning as students must rely on ELA skills to master content from other subject areas and communicate what they’ve learned.
Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
