How to write a Book Review?

-
Another way of making children start writing is to make them write about their favorite book📖. They will already have some ideas in their minds after reading the book and it will be easier for them to write. They will also learn to express their opinions.
I have made two versions: a book review template for children studying in Kindergarten-Grade 2 and a book report template for children studying in Grade 3-Grade 7. I have also provided samples with the templates to guide you.
Book Review Template for children studying in Kindergarten-Grade 2:
An example book review for the book "Treasure Chest":
Book Review Template for children studying in Grade 3-Grade 7:
An example book report for the book "The Wishing Spell" (Book 1 of the Land of Stories Series):


♟𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀:
🌺𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: The person who has written the book.
🌺𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: The name of the book.
🌺𝗜𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿: The person who has made the drawings in the book.
🌺𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿: A book tells the story of some characters 🧝‍♀️. The characters can be persons or animals.
🌺𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: The time and the geographic location 🏜 in a book. There can be more than one settings in a book 📖.
🌺𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆/𝗣𝗹𝗼𝘁: A short account of the main points in a book. It usually includes the beginning, middle, and end of a book.
🌺𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁/𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗼: The leading character of the book who faces danger and fights all adversity using his/her intelligence, strength, or bravery.
🌺𝗩𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻/𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁: The leading character of the book who fights with the hero/protagonist. He/she creates problems in a book.
🌺𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲: The main idea in a book around which the whole book revolves. It can be magic 🧙‍♂️, bravery, horror, etc.
🌺𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: A book report is a short and objective summary of the main points in a book.
🌺𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: A book review is a critical analysis of a book and contains more detail than a book report.
I hope this helps your children in their journey of creative writing 🙂
☘️ Happy Writing! Let the magic begin! ☘️

Jolly Phonics Group 1

Free Jolly Phonics Group 1 worksheets (s, a, t, i, p, n) According to Oxford Dictionary, phonics is a "method of teaching people to read by correlating sounds with symbols in an alphabetic writing system". In simple words, each letter of the alphabet has a sound. Instead of teaching young children the names of these alphabets, the sounds are taught. For example "a" makes the sound /a/...this is exactly the sound that comes from your mouth in the beginning when you say the word " apple " or " ant ". The letter "a" makes a different sound in words like " arm " and " ate " but these rules are taught later.  Jolly Phonics is a synthetic phonics system where all the letters of the alphabet have been split into seven groups. Each group contains 6 letters or their combinations so a total of 42 sounds are taught. What do I mean by a combination of letters? Remember that the combination of letters "s" and "h&

Free Jolly Phonics Group 2 worksheets (c/k, e, h, r, m, d) Hello Friends, I am back with another set of worksheets for helping children learn their phonics sounds. As you might already know, I am a strong proponent of the Jolly Phonics system of synthetic phonics sounds. Jolly Phonics system follows a particular order of teaching alphabet sounds in which there are seven groups. The following image shows the seven groups of Jolly Phonics along with an extra group taught by my Phonics app on Google Play Store. My app called  Phonics Fun  is 100% Free so you can download it and use it on all your Android devices.  It teaches all the letter sounds and different phonics rules and follows the pattern of Jolly Phonics but it is available for free. It is the perfect way to master phonics as you can hear phonics sounds and also test learning by playing many matching games. Coming back to printable Jolly phonics worksheets, I have already published worksheets for practicing Group 1 (s, a, t,

Jolly Phonics Flash Cards

Gone are the days of A for apple, B for Ball...this is the time of synthetic phonics where each alphabet has a sound. Now, you don't teach children the name of the letter but the sound made by the letter. A has the sound that comes when we say the word apple, b has the sound that comes when we say bed, and so on and so forth. There are different systems of synthetic phonics but I have felt that Jolly Phonics is the best system. In fact, I made my first mobile app for my son based on the Jolly Phonics style of teaching. However, I know that many people want to limit screen exposure for their children so I decided to make these flashcards.  You can use these flashcards independently or you can use them along with my app called Phonics Fun , available on the Google Play Store. You can hear the sounds from my app. Practice using these flashcards and then, test learning using my app too...a win-win situation :) The Jolly Phonics flash cards are double-sided. I have told you in my previ
