About this resource
Description
Every reader has books they love, and the favorite books list worksheet gives students a place to keep them. Knowing the difference between fiction and nonfiction is a key early reading skill. Fiction is a made-up story, and nonfiction shares true facts about the world. When children sort the books they enjoy into these two groups, they start to notice how authors write for different purposes.
This favorite books list worksheet is a simple reading log that works all year. Two clue cards at the top remind students what fiction and nonfiction mean. Students write the titles of their favorite fiction books in one column and their favorite nonfiction books in the other. A second box at the bottom holds the books they want to read next. Hand it out in the first week of school, then keep it in a reading folder so children can add titles as the year goes on.
What’s Included
- One printable reading log page for 2nd grade
- Fiction and nonfiction clue cards with kid-friendly definitions
- A two-column list for favorite fiction and nonfiction books
- A “Books I Want to Read Next” section for setting reading goals
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it builds genre awareness, because students decide whether each book is a made-up story or a book of true facts. Second, it grows reading motivation, since children see their list get longer over the year. Third, it encourages goal setting, as students plan the next books they want to read. This 2nd grade back to school worksheet is a gentle way to start the year talking about books.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the list during reading conferences to learn what each child enjoys. Invite students to share one favorite title with a partner, or build a class chart of the most loved books. At home, parents can use the list to pick library books with their child and talk about which books are fiction and which are nonfiction.
