Literacy Snack Lucia Day Read Aloud

December 12, 2018

Grab the FREE printable and see the snack idea to use with Lucia Morning In Sweden. It's a great Literacy Snack Lucia Day Read Aloud for December.

Do you teach about different holiday traditions around the world? I love giving a glimpse of how other people celebrate the holidays in different countries. Today we have a Literacy Snack Lucia Day Read Aloud, we’re reading Lucia Morning in Sweden, by Ewa Rydaker.

The book tells the story of Santa Lucia through the eyes of three children in modern-day Sweden. It describes their giddy activities, brought to life in colorful, full-page illustrations, and also provides sheet music, recipes, and sewing patterns for the costumes traditionally worn by children on this day, when many Swedish people celebrate the legacy of Lucia and the coming of the light with coffee, saffron buns, ginger snaps, and wonderful singing. One of the most beloved and celebrated traditions of the Swedish people, Lucia Day also signifies that the Christmas holiday is getting close.

The book follows the family throughout their day celebrating Lucia Day. Their special treats that are enjoyed this day are ginger snaps and Lucia buns so for our snack this week, we’ll be enjoying ginger snaps.
