Another way of making children start writing is to make them write about their favorite book📖. They will already have some ideas in their minds after reading the book and it will be easier for them to write. They will also learn to express their opinions.
I have made two versions: a book review template for children studying in Kindergarten-Grade 2 and a book report template for children studying in Grade 3-Grade 7. I have also provided samples with the templates to guide you.
Book Review Template for children studying in Kindergarten-Grade 2:
♟𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀:
🌺𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: The person who has written the book.
🌺𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: The name of the book.
🌺𝗜𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿: The person who has made the drawings in the book.
🌺𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿: A book tells the story of some characters 🧝♀️. The characters can be persons or animals.
🌺𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: The time and the geographic location 🏜 in a book. There can be more than one settings in a book 📖.
🌺𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆/𝗣𝗹𝗼𝘁: A short account of the main points in a book. It usually includes the beginning, middle, and end of a book.
🌺𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁/𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗼: The leading character of the book who faces danger and fights all adversity using his/her intelligence, strength, or bravery.

🌺𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: A book review is a critical analysis of a book and contains more detail than a book report.
I hope this helps your children in their journey of creative writing 🙂
