It’s Wednesday, December 20, 2017.I thought I would share Homeschool Resources: Language Arts with you.  Christmas is only 5 days away and I thought you might like to share Christmas stories with your children. Once you look at the books below let me know which website you want to check out and why.

A Visit From St. Nicholas- Age Range: All (All grades; children with parental supervision)
This is a classic story by Clement Moore, also known as The Night Before Christmas.
Written in 1822, this is the poem that named Santa’s 8 reindeer: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, and Blitzen.

And here are other great classic selections of free, audio holiday stories. They are available as audio recordings to listen to on your computer, to burn to a CD, or to download to your portable audio player (mp3).
