School for Santas

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Being able to read and recall is a very important skill. Why not have learners read about an American holiday phenomenon? They'll answer who, what, when, where, why, and how with regard to a New York Times article about a school for Santas. Great for the holiday season or anytime of the year. Note: The article link is located under the related image.
