I love December read alouds and Christmas books for kids to dive deep into some great concepts.
This time of year we study figurative language and what descriptive writing – do many of these books have!
We even translate our figurative language learning into fun Ugly Sweater Projects that highlight what we’ve been learning.
Laughter, learning and December read alouds are a winning combination.

A classic December read aloud for first grade would be Snowmen at Night.
A holiday book for kids that showcases the fun side of snow but takes it much further than Frosty!
Hilarious in words and pictures this is sure to be a holiday books that is popular for awhile.
Never Let a Unicorn Meet a Raindeer is great for problem/solution and has just the right amount of whimsy for a holiday read aloud for your class!
A new STEM December Read Aloud – How To Catch an Elf dives deep into problem solving!
This book would be great to accompany science activities and more!
Polar Express (any Chris van Allsburg) books are classic.
This great holiday read aloud makes perfect accompaniment for learning about types of figurative language, theme, reading pictures and more.
Of course, contrasting the movie is important too.
The Smallest Gift of Christmas has an important lesson for young kids.
This perfect December read aloud for kindergarten discusses size of gift and really focuses on true meaning of gift giving.
With amazing graphics, lessons, and another great figurative language and even poetry choice- Pick a Pine Tree would be perfect for use.
I like because it doesn’t necessarily need to be associated with one holiday.
Another great STEM December read aloud would be Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree.
With it being too big – what does happen to get it in the house?
Fun to brainstorm and experiment as well with this book!
The Snowy Day is a classic holiday book for kids.
This winter kid’s book is great for imagery – taking students on a journey with not only pictures but also words!
Holiday wishlists are part of the season – crayons know what matters.
Share The Crayons’ Christmas with your students and look for theme, characters and more in this treasure!
Holidays around the world is a time to reflect and honor all traditions.
A world of Cookies for Santa does just that in a fun book WITH recipes!
