I created a free printable Christmas theme emergent reader based on the popular book There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell by Lucille Colandro.
Printable Christmas Emergent Reader
There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell by Lucille Colandro is a fun book to read aloud in your preschool, pre-k, or kindergarten classroom.
This printable book offers repetitive text to support emergent readers. Younger children can use it to retell the story or practice book handling skills and concepts of print.

How to Assemble the Emergent Reader
To assemble this book make copies and arrange the pages in order. Next, staple the pages on the left and cut down the middle to create two books at once.
