I created this book review rubric as an assessment tool for using book reviews as a
readers response method in the classroom. Students enjoy creating and listening to
book reviews by their peers. It is a great way to promote the LOVE of reading among
your students as discussed in the book, Notebook Know-How Stratgies for the Writers
Notebook by Aimee Buckner.
My students give a book review once a month on a rotating schedule. I currently have
24 students and six students present each week, usually on Fridays. For more ideas
and information on how I implement writing strategies, visit my blog at

I used the fonts a red bucket, truer blue, and teachers pet in this document
from kevinandamanda fonts.
