If you are a fellow home educator, or even if you are not, you might find the idea of a journal for children to write book reviews a really fun and useful idea. I received a book review journal by Shoohada Khanom to review and I am also running a giveaway for one lucky reader to win any three of her lovely books or journals too! Details of this are at the end of the post. But first, here’s what I thought of the book review journal…
Book Review Journal
The book review journal has 115 pages with space to write various details about each book read, including; the author, title, genre, start date, finish date, characters, plot/storyline, new words, memorable quotes, and any other thoughts. There are also 5 pages at the back to write a list of future books to read. This style journal is suitable for ages 7+ approximately but there is also a simpler version for younger children. There is also a selection of different cover designs to choose from.
What I really like about the idea of a book review journal is that it encourages children to engage more deeply with the books they are reading/ have read, and it supports them in their literacy development. It also provides a fun writing activity for a particular purpose too.
Giveaway: Win 3 Books by Shoohada!
I am offering one lucky reader the chance to win any three of Shoohada’s books or journals! (Subject to stock availability). Enter via rafflecopter below. Competition ends 8th December 2019. UK residents only. Other T&Cs also apply.
Good luck!

I think my son would love this and it would motivate further reading.
Looks like a great journal to keep track of books read!
These look lovely and would make perfect presents for the children.
Looks like a great idea never read it before looks like a interesting read.
This would be really useful so I can keep a track of all my favourite books
My son would really enjoy these books they look wonderful
We used to homeschool our boys when they were younger and I would always ask them to do a little write up of any books they read. I want to get my daughter into the same habit and this looks like it would give a bit of structure to help her.
I love this idea. My Goddaughter is an avid reader and I know she would really get something out of this. I love hearing about the things she’s read but I think this is also a nice way to look back over things and see how the reading has changed either in level, genre that they enjoy etc.
This would be amazing! I’d love to win for my daughter.
These journals are amazing, bot only can they keep up with their reading, they can also keep track on whats going on
these soudn really lovely id love to win for my nieces, thanks for the giveaway!
My nephew would love this – he sees my jotting things down – perfect to teach great habits
My son would love this, hes a complete book worm and not only does it encourage him to write about it but it also keeps track of all the books he reads!!!!
This would be brilliant for my neice who is a fantastic reader and would let her do her reviews which she loves doing! Xx

My daughter loves to write, she has so many stories crammed into her head and should get them out!! I hope she becomes an author when she’s older, she deserves to enjoy her job!!
Looks like a great idea!
Hello, those journals look like a lovely idea and if I was lucky enough to win one then I would give it to a local charity that helps families in need.
This is such a good idea! I would have loved this kind of thing when I was a child.
My grandchildren love reading so these books would be fabulous
Looks like a great idea for a gift. Like the fun cover.
My little bookworm would absolutely love this.
These are fabulous journals and twins Rose and Teresa would adore
These books sound like they would be really good.
I wish my kids liked reading enough for this but I know a few family little ones who would love these and myself to be honest haha
I love the idea of this! Eva would really enjoy having a journal like this to keep track of her reading. She’s started writing her own thoughts for book reviews by herself but it would be nice to keep a written log too!
These journals would be perfect for my two daughters thank you!
