Book Reports for the Year: Differentiated

  • Fiction
  • Non-fiction
  • Science-fiction

Creative Response Encouraged!

Rather than common book report formats like simply listing characters or outlining plot details, this resource encourages students to respond creatively. The tasks include:

    Easing Assessment worries!< br >

    An included rubic eases assessment worries giving children clear feedback on their progress.
