After students learn to summarize, they can use their summarizing skills to review a book. While they will leave the ending out, students will be able to express their own views of the book and author's writing style. View these Reading Rainbow "Take a Look, It's in a Book" book reviews to give students an idea of what a book review is like. Create a list of "must-haves" for a book review before students write their own.
You can also visit worldreading.org to read book reviews written by kids, for kids!
