Differentiated Book Review Templates

Provide students with one of the two template options below. 

Option 1

  • Rate the book out of 5 stars.
  • Describe what happens in the book.
  • Draw a picture of something that happens in the book.

Option 2

  • Characters
  • Setting
  • Summary
  • What is your opinion of this book?
  • Who would you recommend this book to?
  • Rate the book out of 5 stars.

✂️ Give Them the (Safety) Scissors

This template makes for a bonus cutting skills activity, depending on your students’ ages and abilities. 

With adult supervision, cutting skills help students work multiple muscle groups and their brains, plus:

  • strengthen finger and hand muscles
  • build dexterity and fine motor skills
  • improve hand-eye coordination
  • develop focus and attention.

And all of these skills are necessary to use a pencil and a fork; button a shirt and tie shoes; write, type and swipe.

Scissor skills are brain and muscle skills!
