Make a Book: Write, Illustrate & Publish a Book

It’s important to create a classroom community of writers. These Make a Book templates are perfect for students as they learn and work through the process of writing and publishing a book like a real author. I teach my students the parts of the book and the process of writing a book throughout the year in Writer’s Workshop. I give students free access to these printable templates so they can grab them when they are working on writing and publishing their own books. I keep these templates on file trays in my writing center. My students love that this “center activity” is available to them and look forward to writing and publishing multiple books throughout the school year. Students can customize these books however they’d like by adding color, pictures/photos, or illustrations. They come out great and become part of our classroom library.

To create digital books using Google Slides, I have updated this resource to include a link. Digital books come out neat. Students can share and present their digital books too.
