How to Write Scholastic Book Reviews

Scholastic is a company that sells educational supplies and books for children and young adults. On their website, they allow students to write and submit reviews for books they have read. If the review is accepted, it is published on Scholastic's website with the book listing. This is a fun activity you can let your child do if he is old enough, or something you can do with him so he can share his opinions on the books he has read.
