Book Week 2025 Book Review Templates are an engaging and flexible resource designed to help students reflect on their reading experiences in a meaningful way. Aligned with the 2025 Book Week theme, “Book an Adventure,” these templates encourage students to share their thoughts about a book they’ve read by drawing, writing, and rating their response. Whether used during whole-class reading sessions, independent reading time, or as part of your Book Week celebrations, these templates support comprehension, creativity, and communication skills.

With a range of layouts and line spacing options, the templates can be easily tailored to suit various ages and learning needs. Students are invited to express their opinions, identify favourite parts, and illustrate scenes or covers, all while building confidence in discussing books and promoting reading in your classroom community. Display the completed templates to create a vibrant showcase of student voices and reading adventures.
