Book Report Writing For Kids
The whole idea of a book report is for you to tell others all about the story, and express your views about it. You should have a brief outline of the story, including the title, author, characters, setting and plot. Describe what you liked about the story, and why. Then say whether you would recommend the book to others.
First (One paragraph)
Introduction: In the first paragraph, include the author, title, and a one or two-sentence description of the idea of the book. What is it about?
Next (One or two paragraphs)
Plot summary: Describe the plot in one or two additional paragraphs. What is the story about? Who are the main characters? What is the setting? What do they do? What is the problem? How do they solve the problem?
Next (Two or three paragraphs)
Analysis: This is the most important part of your book report and your chance to give your own opinion and review of the book in two or three substantial paragraphs. What did you think of the book? Why did you like it? What was your favourite part of the book, and why? What did you learn?
Last (One paragraph)
Conclusion: Finish up with short paragraph summarizing your review. Would you recommend this book to others? Why? What was your whole view of this book?
Things to remember:
Each paragraph is about one topic. Make sure you indent each new paragraph.
Write in clear, complete sentences. Make sure you use capital letters and periods.
If you join two sentences together, make sure you use a joining word, and, but, so, because….
Use adjectives to make your sentences more interesting.
Enjoy it, and have FUN!!!
