Summarizing a book into a report speaks volumes. It tells a teacher and a parent (if they are paying keen attention) some cool things about their kids. It shows the kid's ability to comprehend stuff: story or material that they came across ( via a book, movie, games, plays, libraries, school, fun time etc ), It shows their understanding of emotions, some fun facts they read, characters they came across and relate to. They try to figure out what the author is trying to convey/where the story is heading.
When they are asked to write a book report (which is part of school curriculum) by the teacher or a parent, they will need to articulate what they read, summarize in a nutshell facts in the book, characters in the story line, and importantly what they thought about the book, and why and what they found interesting.
Teachers can also gain a insight into kids likes & dislikes, how much they understood the story/material, how the kids creative writing is developing.

Please ! Please ! encourage your boys and girls to write about anything and everything they come across like trips to the zoo, stories they read, about a movie they watched and what they liked in it etc ...

The book report app enables kids to write following details:
-- book information
-- title, author
-- when and where the story takes place,
-- who are the main characters
-- what was the main problem
-- what was the solution
-- How does the kid like the book

The app would convert book report into a PDF document. The book report can be shared via email.

As a second grade teacher I am excited to use this with my students. We have been doing similar story maps with pencil and paper for years. Two suggestions for the future, add a page for relating the book to self or another book or movie and create a similar product for non fiction reading.

This was a wonder app for my Childs first 5th grader report. WHAT A WONDERFUL HELP!!!!


Love the app, but need a simple fix
EmilySLP

I love the simple straight-forward layout of is app. I use it with my speech students after have created a story or cartoon on other apps to reinforce those story elements in a fun way. A couple simple usability issues that would make it 5 star . . . After you have saved it, you need to be able to edit it in "review" mode. Saved a partial report for one of my students and wasn't able to edit it when I went to my saved reports because it saves in PDF form. Secondly, in review mode, it would be nice if you could have the option of tapping on a page and seeing it full size instead of only being able to see the full report in grid mode as it makes it difficult to read. If you can fix these issues, I'd be happy to update my rating! Thanks!


Edit?

We have tried this app, but I can't seem to be able to edit once we have left the report. I hope there is a way and I have just missed it, or tell me how you can get your kids to do it perfectly in just one sitting!

This could be a great app IF it there were the ability to edit and possible print. Too bad because it's a good looking app and would really motivate kids to write a simple book report.


Basic Book Report Template

This is a good start on a very useful app - it helps move the student through the outline of a book report and past any blank-page writer's block. It would be better if there were a few more questions on the story plot, and if spell-check were enabled within the app.


Lost files

I had a few students use this app. When they were done, they saved the file. When we tried to access it a couple days later. They were ALL missing and it was on separate iPads. Great app if they work out the bugs.


Pretty good app.

It would be a great app if it allowed the student to edit the book report. My student had finished half of the book report, closed the app and then he could not finish the report because it would not allow him to open and edit it. Very frustrating!!!
