Book Report Ideas


Here are some suggestions for materials to have on hand that your child can use for some of the book report projects:

  • construction paper
  • glue
  • markers 
  • crayons
  • colored pencils
  • fabric
  • writing paper
  • yarn
  • shoe boxes
  • old magazines

Sometimes the children will be asked to do book report projects of their own choosing.  Here are some suggestions just in case your child is at a loss:
  • Draw or paint pictures relating to the story
     
  • Make a dictionary of new or unusual (INCH) words from the book

  • Dress up as one of the characters to read your report.

  • Cover a square box with pictures of different scenes from your story.

    •
  • Make a prop bag by putting things into it relating to your story.  Be sure that you have something to say about each of your props.
  • Make a model or puppet of one or more of the characters using legos,clay, yarn, paper bags, socks or whatever materials you have.  Put on a puppet show depicting a scene from your book.

  • Make a book jacket for the story that you read. 
  • Write a poem about your story or one of the characters.

  • Make a comic strip to retell your story.

  • Make a poster showing an important scene from your story.

  • Make a collage with pictures of things that are part of the story.
