A fun way to get children to write book reviews - I got them to write a review, then leave it in the book as a book mark so the next reader could look for books with the book marks in and it could help them decide whether to choose that book. Good extension activity for a quiet reading session.

Blank book marks for targets to be added to, either by children or adults. 4 spaces for targets and spaces to tick off that the target has been met. Can be decorated by the child to encourage ownership.

The sheets can be used to help them edit and check their own work or to write it in the first place. Images available to support lower ability with identifying vocabulary meaning
