This activity is used to help children with reading comprehension. When a child is done reading a book, have them make a book cover. On the front, the child draws a picture of their favorite part of the book. On the back, the child will write a brief review of the story of the book. The middle is a timeline of the key events and the order they happen in the book. You could also add more pictures to the timeline if you would like as well. This is a great exercise and can be used for children as young as kindergarten all the way through high school. I would allow the child to reference the book if needed , the review and trying to remember all the details will help them understand the story even better.
