That's my objection to book reviews in the younger grades, too. [/quote]
Book reviews have nothing to do with word study. They deal with comprehension and writing. Yes they can be challenging, but in younger grades, I'm assuming that teachers know a child won't write a perfect book review. I'd rather see a book review given as an assignment than a challenge to read so many pages. Kids end up reading so much but most of it is read too quickly for them to really understand what they're reading. It's a waste.[/quote]

Whereas a book review is an incentive to the child to not finish the book, because when they finish the book, they have to do a book review.[/quote]

Simple solution. A teacher can assign one or two book reviews a month in younger grades. The kid can finish the book and write the review and then read as much or as little as they want after that.[/quote]

Problem: Book reviews discourage children from reading.
Solution: Assign fewer book reviews, so as to discourage children less from reading.

No, I don't think that is a solution.[/quote]
