This workbook is a festive way to work on reading comprehension strategies.

The reading and writing practice in this workbook will get kids thinking about all the different parts that go into a good story, like vocabulary, structure and sequencing.

Can you read 100 books in a day? Run a mile in 30 seconds? Kids can compare fact and fiction with Pecos Bill, Paul Bunyan and others to learn about story structure, character analysis and hyperbole.

Everything a kid needs to read and write a biography. Learn about some inspirational Americans, try your hand at writing someone else's story, and consider what makes heroes so compelling.

Read two similar stories and see what two very different cultures can have in common when it comes to storytelling. This book comes with two illustrated stories and peppers questions along the way.

Personal narrative writing is all about you—the writer! Kids will enjoy writing about themselves, from personal experiences and to feelings and emotions. Plus, they'll learn how to map a story.

Reading without the bah-humbugs: take a look at "A Christmas Carol" with story pages young readers can bring to life with color, and step-by-step analysis pages to get them thinking.

Spark an interest in reading with an introduction to four classic tales. Coloring pages make old and new stories accessible, especially for reluctant readers.

This workbook focuses on penmanship practice. In the process, learners also get a head start on composition by using their new handwriting skills to write short stories and paragraphs.

Swashbuckling stories sighted! Travel the seas with these reading pages on real figures from history, with the coloring and cutting projects your child needs to bring his pirate alter-ego to life.

Practice reading comprehension with a wide variety of world tales, some famous and some little-known. The book shines a light on supernatural stories, monstrous myths, and terrifying true-life tales.
