Reading Practice with a Nativity Theme
These cards give your child practice reading for meaning. After reading each sentence, your child looks through the pictures and chooses the one that matches what the sentence says.
Use the activity to practice:
- Reading sentences aloud
- Understanding what a sentence describes
- Looking for picture details that match the words
- Rereading to check an answer
Help with unfamiliar words as needed. You can also read the sentences aloud to a younger child and use the cards for listening comprehension practice.
Print, Cut, and Match
Print the pages and cut apart the picture and sentence cards. Begin with a few matching pairs, then add more as your child becomes comfortable with the activity.
Have your child read a sentence, choose its picture, and place the pair together. Check the matches by rereading the sentences and discussing what each picture shows.
Store the cards in an envelope or small bag to use again during your Christmas lessons.
