- Book Review Template And Guide For Ks1 English Creative Writing
Book review KS1 – Free printable template resource
Three-page PDF
This free downloadable book review template enables KS1 pupils to offer opinions based on first-hand experiences. Naturally, you shouldn’t expect pupils to review every book they read. However, encouraging them to reflect on their reading from time to time is a useful activity.
Book reviews provide valuable practice at using the subordinating conjunction ‘because’. This makes them particularly useful teaching tools for meeting the writing requirements of KS1.
