The holidays are the perfect time to slow down, cozy up, and connect through the joy of reading. This year, we’re inviting families to make reading part of their holiday traditions with our 2025 Holiday Reading Goals Coloring Sheet — a fun, interactive way to inspire kindness, curiosity, and celebration through books!
Whether your family celebrates Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, or simply the beauty of the season, this printable activity encourages kids to explore diverse stories and reflect on what they’ve learned along the way.
📚 What’s Inside the Holiday Reading Goals Sheet
Our 2025 reading goals are designed to spark curiosity, build empathy, and make reading feel magical. Each prompt guides readers to discover new perspectives while enjoying quality family time.
Kids can:
-
Explore new cultures – Read about Native American traditions, Kwanzaa, or holidays you don’t usually celebrate.
-
Celebrate creativity – Read a beautifully illustrated picture book, then draw your favorite scene.
-
Spread kindness – Perform random acts of kindness inspired by stories that highlight empathy and giving.
-
Reflect on growth – Choose a favorite book from the year and talk about what made it special.
-
Dream ahead – Read something new that teaches a skill or idea you want to learn in the new year.
Plus, it’s coloring fun for the whole family! Kids can decorate the sheet as they complete each goal — turning it into a keepsake that captures your family’s reading journey for 2025.
