Recommending books

I have created bookmarks that double as book recommendation slips. I begin the year by asking teachers to recommend a book or two for students, and I slide these bookmarks into the inside cover of books to help motivate students to pick up a new book.

Throughout the year, students begin to write their own recommendations for the bookmarks, and we mark more books with recommendations.

You can get the book marks on my TPT site. Simply fold them to make them 2 sided. I like to laminate them and use wet erase markers to write the recommendations.

Reading Fair

This year I will be starting a new adventure as a teacher librarian. Along with learning the technology curriculum and tracking down the library standards to be used by my district, I am also focused on having a reading fair event this year for students to share their literacy successes and encourage others to read favorite books in the future. Below are some examples found online: Click here to donate!
