St. Lucia Day Emergent Reader

A grown-up reads each sentence aloud and points to the words. Children trace the word on each page, then read the book again with a partner or at home.

Six pages after the cover. Page 1 is the My Book title page with a name line. Pages 2 to 6 each have one sentence and one word to trace: It is dark in Sweden (dark), Lucia wears a crown of light (crown), Star boys carry stars (stars), We eat saffron buns (buns) and Light fills the night (light).

Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 1st Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

3 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 30 St. Lucia Day resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our St. Lucia Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for Kindergarten to 1st Grade students, roughly ages 5-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 1st Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
