This is a worksheet I use with my students when they are reading in the scholastic news.  It is designed to reinforce some of the reading standards that they need to know.

This is an activity-based reading log.

My idea behind this type of reading log is threefold.

1. Keep track of the books that students are reading and the time they are reading each day.

2. Practice a skill-based on reading, writing, and science standards as well as a review of previously taught standards to add more practice.

3. To give students an opportunity to interact more with their parents and siblings, through instilling a little more patriotism, awareness of national events and ideas, and learn a little bit of charity and acts of kindness to others.

Using colored pencils or crayons, students will read some Christmas puns and then identify nouns, verbs, pronouns, Adverbs, and Adjectives with different colors.

Student names are in bold so that teachers can easily see them and replace them with their own student names. This makes is more engaging and fun as well.
