Engage students in reading by having them share about the nonfiction books they read. In this activity, students write a summary—in speech form!—of a book that they read. For added fun, have them give their speeches to a partner—or even the whole class!

Students can use this organizer to jot down the new words they encounter and also note what they think they mean.

As students retell stories, have them use symbols to highlight certain parts in their book, such as question marks to note questions and hearts to indicate their favorite parts.

It’s fun to learn about books with friends! One of the best ways to get motivated to read is to get book recommendations. This worksheet helps students do just that in the format of a friendly letter.
