This is a fun bookworm writing craft that is perfect to use for book reviews/reports, Read Across America, or anytime of year when you want to get your little readers thinking about reading! The writing component is open-ended, so you can determine the type of prompt your students will respond to. I also know how valuable your time is, so this craft is super simple and requires very little prep on your end. This craft will best fit students in kindergarten, first grade, and second grade!

The activities included are a great fit for students in grades kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade, though students in younger grades may need additional support and modeling. It actually could work for students in middle school, too, though I definitely recommend taking a close look at the preview if you are concerned it wouldn't be a good fit! This resource would be a great addition to Read Across America activities or as an alternate to celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday!
