How to Write a Book Report (+ a FREE Step-by-Step Printable for Your Kids)
Just so you know, this post contains affiliate links. That means if you use them to make a purchase, I may earn a commission. You can read my full affiliate disclosureĀ HERE .
We read a lot of books (homeschool moms, can you relate?). Right now, we are reading the Harry Potter series together as a family, and as my kids have grown, itās been fun to see them become more interested in reading for fun. As part of our homeschooling this year, we have been learning how to write a book report, which has been a great way for me to evaluate how well my kids are understanding what they read.
My son is in 3rd grade this year and recently had a book report as one of his assignments in English. While there were a couple of steps given to him, he struggled with the process and actually putting the book report together. So I decided to create a step-by-step book report printable to help him learn how to write a book report.
I hope these printables will be a big help to your kids, too! They will walk your kids through the steps of organizing their book report, writing a draft, revising and proofreading, and writing a final copy. Plus, Iāve included a rubric for you that you can use to give helpful feedback if youād like.
Not only will this template help your kids learn how to write a book report, but they will be fun to add to your homeschool portfolio and look back on in the future.
Why Should You Use Book Reports in Your Homeschool?
Writing a book report or using an organizer to respond to what they have read is a great way to help your kids with their reading comprehension . Itās also fun to see their unique writing styles come to light and learn what they think about the books they have read.
Plus, I have found that incorporating book reports into our homeschool is a fun way for my kids to practice their writing skills because they get to write about a book they have loved. My son doesnāt necessarily love to write, so making the writing topic interesting is really important in our current season.
They also will obviously get to practice their handwriting, and you can include an oral presentation component if youād like to as well!
Teach Your Kids How to Write a Book Report
A book report is just what it sounds like ā a detailed report your kids will write after reading a book. In the report, they will give a summary of the book and share some of the important plot points, as well as share their opinion of the book.
When my son first attempted to do his book report from his English assignment, he struggled with what to write, and how to pull it all together in one cohesive report. I wanted to really lay out the process for him, to break it down into manageable steps .
If your child is new to writing book reports, I would recommend doing the first one together . Choose a book you have been reading aloud as a family (or a new one to read together), so you can then walk through the template and process with them.
If you are reading the book together, model how to take notes of important characters and plot points as you read . These notes will be great to reference later when writing the report.
Once you are finished reading and taking notes, grab your book report template and work through the process of putting together the report ( this printable makes it so easy! ).
My Book Report Template for Kids
There are many options out there with ideas for creative and different styles of book reports (I love these ideas from We Are Teachers), but if you are looking for a simple way for your elementary-aged student to organize their thoughts into a basic book report, these are for you.
The pages include:
- 2 Book Report Planning Pages where your kids will organize their thoughts about the main characters, important plot events, and what they learned and liked about the book. They will also have space to draw out their favorite scene from the story.
- First Draft Pages where they will write a rough draft. These sheets also include checklists that will walk them through the revision and proofreading process.
- My Book Report Pages where your kids will write their final copy of their book report.
- Book Report Rubric which is a sheet you can use to offer comments and suggestions on their work, if desired.
- Reading Log page that your kids can use to keep track of what they are reading (great for your homeschool record keeping as well!)
Using a template like this will help your kids organize their thoughts in the planning pages, so itās easier for them to put the final review together. They will see all of the important parts that need to go into their book reports, which will help them learn how to write effective reviews and recommendations.

7 Printable Book Reports
There are numerous ways to present a book report. Over the years, my kids have created bookmobiles, book posters, and even a book shoe box. Yes, there is such a thing. Book reports encourage reading comprehension, the skill of summarizing, sequencing, and even reflection. However, sometimes we don’t want a book report to become a week-long project. That’s where printable book reports become beneficial. There are 7 FREE Printable Book Reports below! Take a look at which one would work for you and yours!
* Be sure to check out ourĀ Hamburger Paragraph Organizers and for your younger students, take a look at our large collection of Draw & Write sheets .

Why Printable Book Reports
For starters, Printable Book Reports are flexible. They can be used once a year, month, quarter, or for every book your student reads. For us, we use them multiple times in a year. Printable Book Reports are also versatile and easily accessible. There are 7 different versions of our Printable Book Reports to choose from. Some versions are more appropriate for younger students while others are geared toward an older student. My 4th grader chooses a different one than my 6th grader, but both book reports offer the same benefits.
How to use Printable Book Reports
Any time you add an activity to your homeschool, make sure it is worth your time and your student’s effort. For us, these book reports allow my student the opportunity to summarize and work on their writing skills. Specifically, my kids practice developing concise sentences, editing, sequencing, and writing with a flow.Ā That can be difficult for even experienced writers.
Before assigning your student the book report, engage in open dialogue with your child about the book. Ask them questions about their book. Get them talking about the characters, plot, setting, and dynamics of the story. This alone will assist your budding writer greatly. It is almost like verbal brainstorming. Once you have gotten a grasp on your student’s take of the book, assign them one of the 7 book reports.
From my experience, print two copies of the book report. The first copy will be their rough draft. After they complete it, address any grammar or sentence structure errors. This is also the appropriate time for them to clarify details or add sentences to connect ideas. Once this has been done, your student is ready to write their final draft. For those of you looking to expand this into a full book report project, encourage your student to illustrate a book cover on a separate sheet of paper. Then, have your student attach the illustration and written book report onto a small poster board side-by-side. It makes an impressive display!
So, no matter what book report template you choose, these can be a valuable language arts teaching tool!
DOWNLOAD 7 PRINTABLE BOOK REPORTS
Another reading comprehension option for younger students.
Your student may not be ready for the Printable Book Reports above. However, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t an appropriate teaching tool to use after they have finished reading a book. We use a very simple 4-square graphic organizer for our younger students when wanting to work on reading comprehension. It is something that you can work on together and can be used for a mere storybook rather than a novel. Check out our 4-Square Graphic Organizers here.

Printable Book Report Forms
I love that my kids start reading again so much once school starts ( read: I’m not so great about convincing them to read over the summer )! And they are finally at the age when they all have to do real book reports. I’m not a great homework helper, but I try to make up for it with printable worksheets that really will help them do a better job in school.
These book report forms are suitable for both beginning readers and older children. The first is simply a form they can fill out that becomes their book report. The second set is an outline primer plus a page for them to handwrite their report (if you don’t already make them use a word processor!).
