Do you need a book report template for your kids or students?  I have one that you can download for free.

We read so many books at our house and I wanted to take those books and turn them into more of a learning experience.

I am looking for ways to extend my oldest son’s learning this year in our homeschool.   I decided that since he is such a quick reader, that I would add in weekly book reports for him to do.

This book report template will help him think more about what he is reading. I am also having him choose more educational books, like biographies and historical fiction so he is learning from these books he chooses for his reports.

I was searching for a template to use so we could have it ready to pull out each week. I like simple things without lots of cartoons or color when I print it. I also wanted the questions to be thoughtful and aid in his learning.

I was unable to find a template that had all of the questions that I wanted him to answer for his reports, so I decided to make one myself.

I printed several of them double sided and put them into a binder so they were ready to go when we needed them.  I hope this template will be of use to some of you!

What’s Included in the Elementary Book Report Template?

Basic book info (Title, # of pages, Author, Illustrator, copyright)
Book rating
Define new words
Setting
Main Characters

  1. Thanks for the book report template! Do you have suggestions to help a smart, 2nd grader understand inferences when he read books at or above his suggested reading level (N) like Harry Potter and Big Nate? We talk a lot about deeper understanding and what is implied by the author but not written – but I’m wondering if there are activities or other things I should do with him to help this. Thanks!

    1. I think what has most helped my kids is to read to them regularly. My son is an amazing reader, but I still read a lot to him. I read books at a higher reading level that he would struggle with on his own, Then when we come to difficult words or passages, we can stop and discuss it. I am sure there are still things that he may read on his own that he may not quite understand, but it comes with more experience.
