I loved writing book reports growing up. My kids, however, do not share the same sentiment. They love to read books and retell the stories to me, but they have a disconnect when it comes to putting it down on paper. That’s why I love using a free book report template to give them a little extra help.
Fun Book Report Ideas
There are many different ways children can share about a book they read other than writing about it. Check out all of these fun ideas:
- Act it out. Young students and even older students may enjoy acting out a story that they read in lieu of writing about it.
- Make a 3D diorama . This is a great way for students who like to work with their hands and create visuals.
- Draw it out on a poster . For young kids who don’t have strong writing skills yet, drawing out what they read is a great option.
- Make a comic book with a free comic book template we have included below.
- Oral narration . Narrating back a brief summary of the book they read is another alternative to writing a book report. You can see if your children comprehended what they read or at least got the main points of the story by asking them basic questions about the book.
Types of Book Reports
If you prefer using book reports, they come in a variety of types and styles. You can write plain-Jane ones or get a little more creative, like the comic strip option below for a different way to format a book report. Whichever you choose, having the option to use a book report template can be helpful for kids.
While I enjoy book reports and see their value, I much prefer my kids enjoy reading a lot of books and sharing, over the finer points of proper form. So if we can use a simple book report template to keep them excited about reading and not dread the reports, I call that a win-win.
Mix it up with the different types of book reports that you assign to your children. Keep it fun and engaging and they will want to read more books and tell everyone about what they have read.
Using Book Report Templates
As with anything we print out for school, I like to find cute printables with book report designs and age-appropriate graphics. This is especially for my middle school-aged daughter, who thinks some of the free worksheets I find are too childish.
Using a book report template for 3rd grade might look a little different than what I’d want to use for 7th grade. A pdf book report template for high school students definitely needs to be less kid-friendly and more informative.
There are simple book report templates for beginning writers and more advanced ones. The options are endless when it comes to choosing a book report template for your homeschool children.
Printable Book Report Forms
Whether you are looking for a short book report template or one for high school, book report templates will help students get their thoughts on paper. They will learn to organize their thoughts so that their finished book report project is a success!
Book report templates can encourage all the readers in your homeschool to crank out an organized, thorough book report that they are proud of! Once you select a free template, you can get started. Let your children choose one of their favorite books for their first report as it will help to keep them engaged.
How to Use a Book Report Template
When you are looking for the perfect book report template, keep in mind the age of your child. Some one-page forms are perfect for young children and beginning readers with boxes to draw, lines to write down main characters, setting, the plot, etc.
When you have a high school student needing to write a paper or a book report, you obviously need something more in-depth. A book report template can help them get their ideas on paper well enough to organize thoughts and personal opinions for an essay, or even a research paper.
The key point of using worksheets for book reports is to have an easy way to get thoughts on paper. A book report template can help your student stay organized so they are able to draft a well-written paper. These types of graphic organizers make book reports a breeze!
What’s included in a book report?
- A good book report will consist of the book title, author’s name, main idea, main theme, plot points and important details.
- It will explain the narrative and setting, and cover the main elements of the story as well as describe important characters of the book.
- You’ll also want to include details on the time period, major conflicts and the book details, or rather a plot summary of the book.
- Don’t forget to include unusual facts and key elements that stand out.
Character Description
Besides adding basic details about the key characters in the book, it’s a good idea to include character details. You will want to include details such as; appearance, interests, and list out some adjectives that describe characters on the book report form .
Analyze what your character looks like so the reader of the book report gets a vivid description of the character. What color is their hair and skin? What is their clothing style like? Do they have a best friend or an animal that is constantly with them?
Is the character an animal? If so, what type of animal are they and what do they look like?
Character Development
Characters develop on in the story as you read about them. Make sure to make note of positive and negative character traits and how those change throughout the plot. Is there a hidden message or reason why the character is behaving the way that they are?
Make notes of how your character has changed and why you think they changed and the reasons for the actions that they took. You can take it a step further and explain how their actions either harmed or helped the story to move along.

Book reports are a fun way to develop critical thinking skills and teach students how to gather information to format into a writing assignment.

Assigning a Book Report in 1st Grade: Ideas & Templates for Students
- Patricia Gable
- Categories : Lesson plans & worksheets for grades 1 & 2
- Tags : Teaching grades pre k to 5
As children begin to read we want them to get in the practice of understanding the elements of what they are reading. Who is in the book? Where is it taking place? What is happening to the characters? A good way to do this is by assigning a simple book report. This not only helps them with reading comprehension but also improves writing skills.
Vocabulary:
- Fiction: stories that write about imaginary events and people
- Nonfiction: writing based on facts with real people and real events
- Setting: a specific time and place where a story is happening
- Character: person in a story
Prepare the Students
At first assigning a book report might sound like a daunting task to your young students or they may not even have a clue what a book report is! So with each book you read to your students always start by talking about the book itself. Is it fiction or nonfiction? What does the cover tell us? By looking at the cover and the title can you predict what the book is about? As you continue to read, take the opportunity to mention the setting and the characters in the book. For example, in one of my favorite books, Corduroy by Don Freeman, the setting is the department store. The main characters are Corduroy and his new friend Lisa. Soon the children will become familiar with the words character and setting and they will be able to discuss the book using those terms.
Start Simply
An easy way to start with your young students is to read a book to them and then give them a piece of writing paper. Ask them to finish the sentence, “I like this book because…” Perhaps the assignment could include a picture of a favorite part of the book done by the student. The next step could be, “My favorite character in the book is______ because…”
In my opinion, even though the content of their answers is important, you should expect complete sentences and proper capitalization and punctuation from those students who are capable of doing it.
Get Them Excited
After some of the above assignments tell your students that they are going to do book reports similar to what older students do. Wow, they are getting smarter! Your expectations are that you want their personal best. Good handwriting, good answers and correctly written sentences (where appropriate).
Use a template to print out a worksheet for each child like the one provided here. Or you can easily customize one of your own. You can embellish it with clip art that is seasonal or related to the book itself. For example, in the winter, draw a large mitten on the paper and divide it into sections labeled: setting, characters, what happened at the end or whatever fits the particular book you have read.
Worksheets can be as simple as having three or four rectangles, each for a specific answer. Or it could be a “finish the sentence” type of assignment.
Save Some Paper
One of your goals should be to keep the excitement going about doing book reports and reading in general. After all, most of these little ones are just beginning to read. It’s magical! We don’t want to turn a positive thing into a negative one. So, whether they are reporting on a book they read independently, in a group or one that you read to them, here are some other ideas to make it fun:
- Bring in an object from home that relates in some way to the book and share with the class
- Dress up as a character from the book
- For a nonfiction book: decorate a can or box in the theme of the book. Then include three slips of paper inside the can/box with a fact from the book written on each slip of paper.
- Write a friendly letter to the author
- Write a friendly letter to one of the characters
Think about your objective for each lesson. Set your expectations based on the ability of your students. Vary the activities to maintain interest. Have fun!

Non Fiction Book Report: How to Write the Perfect Paper
The thought of a non fiction book report may bring to mind early school days. In fact, a parent could easily use this article to help their kids complete one of these report assignments. However, even college students may be asked to review or report on a nonfiction book. Thankfully, the standards for what makes a perfect analysis paper doesn’t change across grade levels. The content itself becomes more complicated but the principles stay the same.
There are two main principles to writing a perfect book report: describe and evaluate. Knowing how to perform each and how to balance them can help you, your students, or your kids write the best paper they can.
Describe: The Facts of the Non Fiction Book Report
Description in a book report includes names and major points in the book. This is not the time to state your analysis of the work but simply to list the relevant information so the reader knows where your analysis will go.
The information in the description portion of a nonfiction book report includes background on the author and relevant information on the creation of the book. State how the book has been assembled or organized, especially if it takes a unique genre form. This includes the author’s intention with the book as a thesis or a statement of purpose. Let the reader know that you have a big picture of the nonfiction book being discussed.
Finally, offer a summary of the nonfiction book to get your readers on the same “page” for your evaluation. By selectively summarizing information, the reader (or grader) knows what they should take from your analysis.
Evaluate: Make Your Points
When you begin evaluating, use the information you reviewed and summarized in the description section. Evaluation involves your opinion, but a supported opinion that includes relevant scholarship. This means that other writers’ reviews and journal articles that discuss the nonfiction book you’re studying can come in handy to back up your points.
You can observe the strengths and faults of the book based on your observations and experience. However, the more you can support your statements with the words of others and of the book itself, the better your report will be.
How to Start Writing a Book Report
As you read, you have to read the right way ! This means observing the author’s purpose quickly, learning the background information that will go into your report beforehand, and taking notes. As you read, note the author’s expertise and how they incorporate their thesis. When you see quotes that support the author’s ideas (or yours), take note of where they occur. This can only make writing the report easier in the long run.
The Takeaway
A non fiction book report sounds like a hefty obligation. However, whether it’s a college paper or a child’s school project, a book report doesn’t have to be a burden. Get the two qualities of description and evaluation clearly distinct in your head so that when you read, you can already sort and note the informtation that will make your paper work.

I Love 1st Grade
Tips for Teaching Nonfiction in First Grade
Teaching nonfiction in first grade can feel overwhelming, but it can be really fun for you and your students with the right tools and resources. We often assume first-graders gravitate towards fiction, but it would probably surprise you how many of my students would instead enjoy reading nonfiction texts. When you think about what we read as adults, most of it is nonfiction from news articles, magazines, how-to guides, and recipe books. And first-graders are always on the hunt to learn new facts and information, which ultimately leads them toward nonfiction text. But reading nonfiction text definitely comes with strategy and practices so students can effectively read.
So, if you are wondering how to teach nonfiction reading and/or are teaching nonfiction reading strategies, I have 6 tips for you.
First and foremost, you’ve got to begin by teaching fiction vs. nonfiction. Compare fiction to nonfiction using an anchor chart will be a really great way for students to distinguish the difference between nonfiction and fiction. You can give your students hands-on practice by giving them examples of both texts and going through them to find differences between them. I allow for a chunk of time for students to dissect both types of texts, and then I walk around the room casually, pointing out different types of text features and noting differences that I see in the texts. This time allows students to make their own inferences and have hands-on experience differentiating between fiction and nonfiction.
Class Discussion
After letting your students explore different types of fiction and nonfiction text, you can have a whole group discussion by using a nonfiction and fiction book. I would suggest using books on the same topic. That way, it is easy for your students to note the differences between a fiction and nonfiction text. I typically read the fiction book first, and then on an anchor chart, we will name the characteristics of the book, such as characters, illustrations, and storytelling elements. Then we will read the nonfiction book and do the same thing, and then we will talk about the differences and even the similarities. Again, the more hands-on practice, the more engaging and beneficial it will be for your students.
I would recommend Clark the Shark and Surprising Sharks for a comparison.
Teaching Nonfiction Text Features
We must make sure our students can identify and use a variety of features in nonfiction text. Want to know how to teach first grade nonfiction text features? We can do this by providing them with the explicit teaching of text features through engaging, fun, and interactive activities. This is the first place I start with nonfiction and then give my students plenty of practice in becoming familiar with these features. One of my favorite ways to practice is using games , and it’s a great way to assess informally. You might also want to check out this text features post where I take a deeper dive into how I teach text features. One of my students’ favorite ways to practice text features is through nonfiction surgery . It’s just a super fun way to dig way deeper into practicing text features, and I promise your students will have a blast. It’s amazing what a pair of surgical gloves can do!
Explore Different Text
Books are the go-to in my classroom. But we must also introduce our young learners to different types of nonfiction texts. I always start with reading passages because they are shorter but packed with information. You can also bring in magazines like National Geographic or High Week. These are a hit with my kiddos! You can also check out my Amazon book list for tons of great first grade books.
Engaging Topics
One of the tips I have learned throughout my years of teaching on teaching nonfiction reading strategies is to pull high-interest text and topics. And I have paired together nonfiction reading and writing activities with topics that I know my first-graders will love. When students have an opportunity to read a nonfiction text, then answer questions, make inferences, and write an informational text. It’s a comprehensive way to pack everything together in a way that flows and makes sense to first-graders. Below I have a huge list of resources that I use with my students to truly spark their interest in nonfiction reading and writing.
Arctic Animals
Farm Animals
African Animals
Animals and Their Babies
Students Have an Understanding
Even as adults, we read something and then think to ourselves, what did I just read? Imagine young learners who are just getting their feet wet in different types of texts. Reading nonfiction text is very different from fiction, so it’s crucial that our students have a lot of practice with different kinds of texts to understand how to use text features to get the most out of the text. Once students understand, we can move forward with informative writing and diving deeper into nonfiction text. Be sure to check out my post, all about informative writing .
I love teaching nonfiction in first-grade because I love the curiosity and knowledge it brings to the forefront. It can feel challenging at moments, but with the right strategies, resources, and approach, your students will truly enjoy the process. You might even see them grabbing nonfiction books way more often during independent reading. When they have a firm understanding of nonfiction, it makes informative writing a much smoother task for them, too!
That’s how to teach nonfiction to first graders. What are your tips?

Book Report Nonfiction Template
Make it easier to dissect the different sections of the story by editing and customizing this book report nonfiction template from venngage..
- Design Style : modern
- Colors : light
- Size : Letter
- Plan : free
One of the most important parts of reading is understanding the meaning and essence of the book. Dissecting the story into sections and identifying the focal points of each part is crucial to memory retention and reading comprehension. If you want to make reading more fun and enjoyable, a book report outline can help you achieve this goal. A book report nonfiction template can help readers, especially kids, understand and recall the parts of the book better. Non-fiction is a kind of writing based on facts, not fantasy. Non-fiction books talk about events, people, biographies, or historical events that occurred in real life. When reading non-fiction literature, you must always be objective about your approach. Unlike fantasy and make-believe, non-fiction literature relies on facts that trace back to real-life events. Thus, you must always be objective when discussing non-fiction literature. This is where this book report nonfiction template from Venngage becomes handy. Members of academic institutions such as teachers, educators, and librarians can use this book report nonfiction template to create professional-looking, high-quality book reports.
