This is the most creative method I’ve ever seen for doing a book report! It’s perfect for children because it gives very specific parameters, and it involves the enjoyable creativity that art brings. No specific skill level is required as it is easy to scale back the five to seven sentences to fewer if your student is overwhelmed with more. You might find that this is one report your student proudly keeps on display all year!
