Grade 2 · Reading · Lesson 16

Write a Mini Book Review

A book review tells other readers what a book is about and whether you think they should read it. It is part summary and part opinion — and a good review always gives a reason for your opinion.

What this lesson teaches

1Write a mini book review with all five parts — title, characters, main event, opinion, and rating
2Keep the main event to one sentence (not a full retelling)
3Give a clear reason for your opinion using the word "because"
