Evan Moor: How to Report on Books

[plain jane]

Has anyone here used this resource with your dc? I was thinking of having dd fill in a report form per week, for one book of my choice. I'm not sure how to make using this workbook meaningful and not just busy work. Any suggestions?

As I recall, you can see the entire book online through EM's website. It comes in grade ranges and covers a succession of skills with each BR. I did some a couple years ago, having bought it on VP's recommendation and like them. I've been wanting to get back into book reports, so maybe I should drag it out again!

I, too, thought that you could simply flick through the entire book as that was how it worked ages ago. Now though, it's restricted to 24 pages... :( *sigh*

My connection is too slow to wait for it to load today, but it looks like a full view is still available at Google Books (http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=wdso65Ncq5YC&printsec=frontcover&dq=how+to+report+on+books#PPP1,M1).

Yeah I was actually going to mention that...but didn't want to sound too confident. Thanks for confirming it. Not sure if every single previewable Evan-Moor book is avaliable at Google Books though.
