What’s Included in the All About Me Bookmark

This free all about me bookmark printable is a double-sided activity that combines a personalized bookmark with a simple book review bookmark template.

After printing, kids fold it in half to create a sturdy bookmark they can color, customize, and use throughout the school year.

On the book review side, children can record:

• Book title – The book they recently finished reading.
• Author – Who wrote the book.
• Star rating – A quick rating out of five stars.
• Favorite scene or character – A space to draw something memorable from the story.
• Book summary – A short description of what happened in the book.

Together, these prompts turn the bookmark into a simple book review template that encourages reading comprehension without feeling like a formal book report.

On the All About Me side, kids can share:

• Name and age
• Favorite color
• Favorite hobbies
• What they want to be when they grow up
• What they did over the summer
• A self-portrait

This printable bookmark works well as a first week of school activity, reading center project, classroom icebreaker, or homeschool keepsake.

How to Use the Printable Bookmark

Print the all about me bookmark on cardstock for the best results. Regular printer paper works too, but cardstock will hold up better with everyday use.

Cut along the dotted line and fold the bookmark in half so the book review section is on one side and the All About Me activity is on the other.

Glue the two sides together and allow it to dry before decorating.

Kids can color the bookmark, complete the prompts, and add their own drawings or designs. If you’d like it to last all year, laminating the finished bookmark is a great option.

Once students finish a book, they can fill in the review section to record their thoughts. It’s a simple alternative to a traditional book report and an easy way to encourage reading comprehension while creating a personalized keepsake.

Favorite Back to School Read Alouds

These are a few of our favorite back to school books for helping kids settle into a new classroom, make friends, and start the year with confidence.

A Letter From Your Teacher: On the First Day of School – This one’s a gentle, reassuring read that sets the right tone for the year ahead. It’s written from the teacher’s perspective, which really helps kids feel seen and supported on day one.

We Don’t Eat Our Classmates– This has been a hit every time. Penelope Rex is a dinosaur with a not-so-great habit of eating her classmates, it’s funny, slightly outrageous, and somehow ends up being a great lesson on empathy and making friends.

My Mouth Is A Volcano – If your kids are like mine and sometimes can’t wait their turn to talk, this book hits the mark. It’s lighthearted but makes the point, and it opens the door for good conversations about listening and self-control.
