Book review KS1 – Free printable template resource

Rachel Clarke

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.

Book review KS1 template

This download contains three separate book review templates. Each one requires the pupil to write the book’s title and author at the top.

  • Use the provided words to write a sentence about the book
  • Draw something from the book you liked
  • What is the book about?
  • Which bits did you like best?
  • Give the book a star rating

Sheet three

  • What were your favourite parts? Explain why
  • Explain why other people should read this book

Rachel Clarke is the director of  Primary English Education Consultancy Limited . This activity is one of a selection of templates created by Rachel for her templates resource pack . Browse more book review templates and World Book Day ideas for schools.

Such a great resource and already differentiated. Thank you so much for sharing it for free, much appreciated.

Lovely resource, though the 'for boys' 'for girls' in the interests is outdated. Easy to edit however.
