Book Discussion: Pupil Reflection Worksheet

This simple and accessible worksheet is designed to support primary students in reflecting on a book that they have read. It is ideal to use after individual reading, guided reading sessions, or whole class texts. Book discussion helps pupils express their thoughts about the book in a structured and supportive way.

The worksheets includes prompts to guide discussion and written responses encouraging students to:

• Share their opinions on the story
• Describe favourite parts
• Reflect on what they disliked about the book
• Develop their speaking, listening, and comprehension skills.

In my own teaching practice, I have used this resource to support pupils who benefit from clear structure and have been able to provide adaptive teaching through having the option of drawing as well as an extension.

This resource can be used flexibly across a range of reading activities and is ideal for informal assessment or discussion starters.
