These projects are unique in shape, but simple in supplies!


Elementary School Boy Loves Reading Books I have often found a book report idea that I really liked in a teacher resource book or on a website. Unfortunately, these book report projects involved purchasing a lot of additional items and driving around after school hours to find art supplies. This is not fun to do after a long day in the classroom!

My book report projects are unique in shape, but simple in supplies!

After you have printed out the unique book report templates, the only materials that you will need to have in your classroom to complete these book report projects are scissors, glue, tape, and coloring pencils.

You will not need to go shopping after school for art supplies
and materials to complete these fun book report projects.

Elementary School Girl Loves Reading Books A teacher's time is precious, so all of my book report projects include a 5 page bulletin board display banner. I hope that these display banners save you time in decorating your classroom bulletin board displays that feature your students' book report projects.

The majority of my book report projects also contain thematic bulletin board accent pieces. You can use these accent pieces to add the finishing touches to your bulletin board displays so that they are colorful and eye catching!





All of my book report projects include the following components:

Elementary Students Thumbs Up For Reading

  • assembling directions
  • first draft writing worksheets (the writing lines on the first draft worksheets match exactly with the writing lines on the final draft book report templates)
  • final draft book report templates
  • color final draft book report templates of the project for you to use as a finished example to show to your students
  • grading rubric for both the students and the teacher to fill out
  • five page color banner to display on your bulletin board
  • most of these sets also include bonus accent pieces for you to use as decorations for your classroom bulletin board displays
Book Report Projects Are Fun!

Your lesson plans for Stellaluna, Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas have saved me so much planning time this year. My Gr. 3 students really enjoyed completing the projects that you designed for each of these books. I was able to create great Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas displays in my classroom this year with their projects. Thanks for sharing your ideas and for saving me time.

I just wanted to say thank you for the most amazing teaching resources that I have ever come across in my thirty years of teaching. I have used many of your book report sets this year and my students absolutely loved them. What was particularly pleasing was seeing some of my reluctant readers (especially the boys) really wanting to read books and complete the activities. Keep up the great work!

I'm writing to tell you that my students just finished the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory group projects. They worked so hard, and the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory projects turned out great! We had them to show for student led conferences. The parents were very impressed, and so were many of the other teachers and my principal. They all commented on my students' work and your creative templates. My students had so much fun doing these projects. I also used the multiplication pizza sticker charts. My students loved those as well!! Thank you so much for all of your amazing products.

I am in awe of what you have accomplished and created for those of us teaching in the public sector. Good for you for taking time off and self publishing. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your generosity is amazing. I recently provided a reading in-service for the K-5 staff at my school. I listed your website as a "must" to visit.

Thanks you for your expertise, creativity, and heartfelt enthusiasm. You are an inspiration to new and veteran teachers and a model for those of us who have not had the guts to go out on our own. You did it!!! I suggest that you go on the speaking circuit and share your knowledge and creativity at the International Reading Association Meetings and the State Reading Associations.
