Nonfiction Book Report Templates and Ideas for 3rd, 4th and 5th Grade Students

Generally, when we think of book reports, we think of fiction reading response. However, nonfiction book report templates serve equally as important of a purpose for digging deep into nonfiction texts.  

Book reports are such a great way to encourage the use of many different reading skills with the same text. With one nonfiction text, students can practice skills like identifying main idea and details, analyzing text structure, finding nonfiction text features, summarizing, quoting, paraphrasing, finding the author’s purpose, citing text evidence, etc. The list goes on and on! 

By allowing students to practice so many skills at once, they are able to deeply analyze the text and think critically about the topic. Students can then form their own opinions on the topic and the author’s writing style, and ask important questions for further investigation.   

1. BACKPACK BOOK REPORT:

Backpack Book Reports are an engaging, hands-on twist on a classic book report. They are very easy to prep and make a great bulletin board display when completed. 

Nonfiction Backpack Book Craft (Each page is a graphic organizer focusing on a different fiction skill)

Each page focuses on an important nonfiction reading skill. These include: 

  • Main Idea & Supporting Details
  • Summarizing
  • Nonfiction Text Features
  • Author’s Point of View & Text Evidence
  • Text Structure
  • Academic Vocabulary
  • Interesting Facts
  • Back Up Opinions
  • Reflection (What I Learned, My Connection, Questions I Still Have)

2. BOOK REPORT TAB BOOKS:

These tab books really bring nonfiction texts to life! Students re-create the cover of their informational book on the front of their book report. Then, each of the 10 tabs represent an important nonfiction reading response skill.  The tabs include:

Nonfiction graphic organizers in a tab book format

They also come in full page option to maximize student writing space, or half page size to maximize wall space for a display.  

text features graphic organizer tab for a nonfiction tab book

3. INFORMATIONAL TEXT LAP BOOK REPORT:

These lap books are great in that you can have students 1.) completely design their own lap books, or 2.) provide them with more structured directions.  

  • Lap Book Free-Writes: The teacher tells students what nonfiction elements they are responsible for reporting on, but does not tell them exactly how to present them. The teacher provides students tools like paper, envelopes, scissors, etc. and students can present the information however they would like.

nonfiction lap book craft - students use scissors, glue, paper, and a file folder to create their own unique book report

  • Structured Lab Book: With this option, the teacher can set clear expectations and provide a model for how to present each nonfiction element on their lap books.

4. NONFICTION BOOK REPORT TEMPLATES:

Students can fill in each template and staple them together with the included cover page. These 10 templates are versatile in that if there’s a skill you haven’t yet covered, you can easily leave that page out until later into the school year and it won’t affect the finished book report product.

5. DIGITAL NONFICTION BOOK REPORT TEMPLATES:

These digital slides are the same as the nonfiction book report templates above, just in a digital Google Slides format. With this format, teachers can just delete any of the slides that cover skills that their students are unfamiliar with before making them their own copy. 

Digital book report slides for Google Slides

6. CEREAL BOX BOOK REPORT IDEAS:

Cereal boxes are a popular 3D way to have students present their book report since cereal boxes are easily accessible for any student to get their hands on. Students cover their boxes with paper to create drawing and writing space.  

The front of the box is transformed into a type of cereal that is fitting for the text they read.  For example, a student reporting on owls might name their box “Hoot Loops”. Then, the back and sides of their box are filled with information on the text. 

Similar to the lap book options described above, it is up to the teacher in how much structure they want to provide in this activity. Students can follow a model of how to present each element of nonfiction, or come up with their own ways to present each element on their box.

7. ONE PAGE BOOK REPORT (One Pager) :

Not every single book report we assign needs to take up tons of class time. A one-page book report option is an essential resource as it can be used as a quick, zero prep assessment tool. Although short, this type of report can still have students dig deep into reading comprehension.  

a one-pager nonfiction book report that includes a title, author, summary, text structure, fun fact, overall opinion, what the student learned, a recommendation, and star rating

On the one pager that is pictured, students still use many important nonfiction skills. These include writing a nonfiction summary, identifying text structure, finding facts, giving an overall opinion, writing a recommendation, reflection on what they learned, and providing a rating.

8. PARAGRAPH WRITING WITH GUIDELINES:

If you are looking for a way to provide a lot of structure and clear expectations, you can give students a nonfiction book report writing rubric for what their reports need to include from the very start.

Nonfiction book report guidelines, rubric, and graphic organizer

Students can also use graphic organizers that break down necessary points to include according to their rubric. Using a graphic organizer for prewriting is a great support for students in organizing their ideas before jumping into their drafts. 

No matter what book report format you go with, it is important that students know and understand what is expected of their writing content. Displaying a Nonfiction Book Report Bulletin Board is such a helpful way to provide students with steps to writing a book report as well as terms they will come across in their templates.

Literacy choice boards increase comprehension and accountability during novel studies. These work with ANY book and work for assessment too.

When I first started using novel studies , I felt like I had to have elaborate packets of text-specific comprehension questions for each book we read. I was concerned about comprehension, accountability, and assessment. However, time and experience has taught me that students really thrive on choice and that there are ways to still provide rigorous reading practice without novel-specific activities. Enter, literacy choice boards!

Literacy choice boards increase comprehension and accountability during novel studies. These work with ANY book and work for assessment too.

How Literacy Choice Boards Work

Each choice board has a variety of activities that appeal to different learning styles. As a teacher, I determine how many activities students need to complete from each board and if there are any requirements. For example, sometimes I might ask students to select one activity from each column or row. 

Then students complete the activities in their reading journals during independent reading time. These activities can also become great discussion points during reading groups or centers when students share their journals. The work provides me valuable information about students’ comprehension and can also be used as assessments if needed.

Ready-To-Use Literacy Choice Boards

If you’re just starting out, differentiated choice boards are a great choice. My students always have these in their reading journals. The boards include dozens of prompts for responding to text and can be used for independent responses or literature circles. They meet many different learning styles and cover Bloom’s Taxonomy too. 

Novel Study Choice Board Picture 168033

I also have two free choice boards for incorporating writing and vocabulary into your novel study. Each one has 9 different and creative ways to respond to almost any novel. 

You can download all four literacy choice boards for FREE here!

When you want your students to practice specific reading skills with their novel, I recommend using skill-based novel study choice boards . There are 33 different options here to practice fiction and nonfiction skills, including 5 specific genre related boards.

More Ways To Respond To Text

If you need even more options, my students also love these reading response task cards . I use these to engage students in thoughtful discussions and written responses about their reading all year long. The goal of these cards is to move your students beyond basic, literal understanding of what they are reading and branch out into inferential, critical thinking. Plus just like choice boards, they work with almost any book!

Visionary Teaching

Visionary Teaching has previously explored the use of choice boards for student assessment opportunities. In this article, we will look at how choice board book reports help students deliver amazing projects that play to personal strengths and preferences.

Think about a traditional book report. It might be a graphic organizer asking students to identify the title, author, characters, setting, and plot. Sometimes, students are even asked to give an opinion about the book. Perhaps this approach works in some classrooms. Visionary Teaching is all about creating meaningful and engaging learning opportunities for students.

What is the real purpose of assigning a book report?  Is the objective to receive a collection of submissions that uniformly address a checklist of facts about the book?  Or, are we seeking to allow each learner to apply what they learned while reading the book?

When a student has a choice in how she/he will demonstrate what has been learned, she/he will likely be motivated to work longer and harder on the project. Choice also allows students to play toward their strengths and interests. This approach should yield better projects. Some students may not yet know which options are best for them. Frequent choice board activities will give learners plenty of opportunities to try different options and discover where their strengths and preferences lie. 

There are so many potential options to include on a book report choice board. Artistic students may excel when given a choice to reimagine the story as a comic book or build a diorama that depicts an important scene.  Students who enjoy creative writing may opt to create a top 10 list related to story content or compose an epic poem that retells the story. Musical students may summarize the book through a song. Thespians may convert a scene from the story into a one-act play. Technology-savvy learners might choose to film and edit a trailer for a movie version of the book. 

This 6-option table provides an example for choice board book reports.

Try the above six-option choice board with your students. If you are ready for even more options, check out Visionary Teaching’s Editable Book Report Choice Board file that includes a customizable template, scoring rubric, and 40 high-interest choice board activities with descriptions!

Choice boards offer you, the teacher, several advantages as well.  First, you can control what is on the choice board so any option selected by students has already been pre-approved. Choice board book reports are likely to be more enjoyable for you to review, as well. You may find yourself embracing the variety of submissions across students. Best of all, you will learn so much about your students through their book reports.  

Choice Board Book Reports offer amazing opportunities for students to demonstrate what they have learned in a meaningful and fun way. Further, learners will gain a better understanding of how they prefer to learn and communicate information. Start small, offering a few options to your students for the next book report. As you utilize the choice board more regularly, you can retain successful options and swap out less successful options for new activities.

Happy Teaching!
