midwestbelle Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 DH wants the girls (2nd grade) to do a weekly report or narration on a book they have read. Is a book report basically just a written narration of the book? We haven't done much writing, what can I do to get them started? Would it be a good idea to start them with a form to complete, or just let them write what they want on a blank sheet of paper? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina in WA Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I would use a form for that age. Here are a few sites to look at: Book Report Forms at ABC Teach Donna Young Love to Learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Just to throw something into the mix. I don't see a blog listing for you but you can still do the same thing at Amazon. My daughter has started posting a once a week book review at my blog site. She has a blast. It is good practice for her and she enjoys when Papa (grandpa) leaves her a comment. We call it Buttercup's Book Reviews. She has only done it the last two weeks but she is already "planning" her next one. So I think she is really loving it.

Pster Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Something else to consider..... Trivium Academy recently suggested Evan-Moor "How to Report on Books" - they have them for Grade 1-2 and then above. You can see it online at Evan-Moor but they are currently updating their website and I couldn't get the exact link. You can do a e-download at E-M site and then just print off what you need. My dd is reading soooooooooo many books that I think I'm going to start getting her to write on them too (something she's not wild about). Hoping it works and this book report bk is a good way to ease into it! hth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
