If you're reading The Kid in the Red Jacket by Barbara Park, use a handy reference sheet to help kids format a book report. After filling in the basics of the book, such as author, main characters, and setting, learners answer several questions about Howard's feelings and relationships. They finish the report by writing a summary of a possible sequel to the book.
