Creative Book Teaser Bookmarks

By thisreadingmama Leave a Comment

These book teaser bookmarks are such a creative and simple way to get learners thinking and writing about the books they read. I love how the bookmarks can be inserted in books to entice others to read the book, too!

Creative Book Teaser Bookmarks

These book teaser bookmarks are a creative way of getting learners to think deeper about text and:

  • make connections with what they read
  • think about the author’s purpose
  • form opinions about books
  • think about the main idea or theme of a book/text
  • provide a “teaser” to entice others to read the book

Let me show you how!

Encourage learners to write something about the book. It can be an opinion, a question, a part that made them wonder, something they learned, or a their favorite part of the book. The thing to remember, though, is that It’s just a teaser. So learners need to write something without giving the entire book away.

Because this may be a bit abstract, I’d encourage you to provide examples before asking learners to give it a go.

In the download {which can be found at the END of this post}, learners can choose between four different emotions on their bookmark: excited, shocked, laughing, or scared. Learners choose whichever emotion matches their teaser blurb the best. They also may have to think about the author’s purpose when picking their emotion.

 

Book Teaser example for fiction chapter book

For example, after reading the Missy chapter book, learners could write “Missy’s idea about a gift idea will crack you up!”

Also included in the download is a page of blank books. On these bookmarks, learners can draw their own facial expressions. This is my 3rd grader’s favorite one because she loves to draw.

 

book teaser bookmark with a nonfiction book

For example, I used this with a nonfiction book about volcanoes. I drew an “I wonder” kind of face and wrote the question, “Do you know where you can find volcanoes?” on my book teaser bookmark blurb.

Examples of more book teaser ideas are included on p. 9 of the download.

 

put book teaser bookmark inside book for others to find

Once learners have written their quick book review teaser on the bookmark, they can tuck it into the book for other readers to find when they pick up the book to read.

others can read the book teaser bookmark to help them set a purpose for reading

When learners read the blurb, they can be encouraged to read the book themselves. It can also help them set a purpose for reading.
