Description
21 original Reading Comprehension worksheets about Christmas in Spanish.
All texts are short with between 2 and 4 sentences written in the Simple Present Tense. The rest of the page is filled with questions to check understanding and other related activities.
These worksheets should only take 10-20 minutes each so are a great item to warm up a class or to use as Morning work. You could do a worksheet each day before Christmas or do them in a couple of weeks with some left as homework.
These handouts would be great in an emergency as a quick filler, especially for subs. You may also find them useful to hand out to fast finishers (so they don’t disrupt others).
The worksheets are ideal for bilingual / dual language classrooms since they are completely in Spanish, including the instructions. Students are likely to encounter new vocabulary on each page so it would be good to explain (or draw) it before giving out the handouts.
Bonus Listening Activity
We have now included sheets with groups of 5 stories on one page (without exercises). This is can be used where the teacher gives the comprehension questions orally, or can be used in conjunction with the audio on our YouTube channel so they can read as they listen (without the distraction of other activities on the page).
There are similar pages (5 stories per page) but this time with certain words missing and replaced by a blank line where students can fill with the word they hear on the listening.
Note: The audio of the listening only appears on our YouTube channel. The recording is spoken by a native Spanish speaker.
