Book Critic
Start a book club
Materials
Read, review, and enjoy books with your children.
Let children draw the appropriate symbol on a blank label, and stick it in the journal next to the book title.
Talk About It
Encourage children to talk about the books you read. Prompt them with questions: Do you think the story was exciting/sad/boring? What do you think of the ending? Have you ever felt the way that character did?
With a Group
Have each child in the group select a favorite book to be read aloud and discussed. Make a chart with the book titles and reviews. Ask your librarian if you can post the chart in the children's section of your local library.

L = I didn't like it.
