jesus is born – printable christmas popup reader
There are many ways to help children understand the important values we live by at Christmas and every day!
I usually read a book with the children as a group and ask a lot of questions about the characters in the book. for example, who are they? what are they doing? etc
This story is usually something kids are already familiar with, so I like to read lots of different and fun versions of the Christmas story.

This Christmas reader is so easy to set up! this is what you will need:
- printable pop-up reading (download below)
- crayons or colored pencils
- pencils
- scissors or paper cutter
print the reader, cut the pages in half and staple them together. you’ll be making two books at once, which is great if you need multiple copies!
It’s a good idea to read the book with the whole class first, before the children start tracing the words. it will work better if you first become familiar with the words.

how to use popup reader
once the booklets are stapled and ready, hand them out to each student and ask them to read each page and trace the words that are written in dotted form.
Bring out the colored pencils and crayons if the children are sitting in groups. my esl kids love sitting in groups because it allows them some time to work with their friends on the activity.
