Growing up going to school, I always remember the dreaded book report days. They always stressed me out so much. I would rush to scramble to finish the book, which is never one I was ever interested in reading in the first place. Then I would have to sit down and grudgingly write a report about it. Now that I am a teacher myself, I truly see the value in book reports. I think adding book reports to your homeschool reading curriculum is a great way to help with reading comprehension, writing and even public speaking skills.
If something isn’t included in our curriculum, I always have a hard time remembering to add it to what we are learning. Book Reports are one of those things, that probably get forgotten in homeschool, yet they are still important. We are thankful that we homeschool and aren’t required to force our children to read certain books. If you have a child that struggles with enjoying reading, it would be a good idea to let them choose a book on a topic that is of interest to them. This will make the task a little easier, and they may be excited to share about a book they love.
There are so many ways that you can add book reports to your homeschool. You can schedule them out in a planner to be done once a month, or once a quarter. You could have a family book report challenge, where each child does a book report and reports it to the family. It would be fun to do a book report day in a homeschool group or co-op as well.
