I don’t teach literature right now and that feature will help me make better choices for my classroom library.

That is an excellent idea. Do they often find that the books are better than the movies?

I’m going to share these tips with the reading teachers on my hall!

Our students are working on a series challenge in the library this semester and I think knowing a good book to get next might inspire some to read more. Thanks.

At least once a week, I pull about 10 books and read the back of the book to the class. I am always amazed by the immediate response from my students. That is all it takes to get students interested in new books. Afterms a couple of months the students take over and recommend their favorite books.

I think it could work great for lit circles or whole group read–alouds. Another idea would be to write an event on index cards from several different books and let the students choose based on that- could lead to some surprising choices!

I also have my students read a novel within a unit of study that also has a movie presentation. I have the kids compare the written text to the movie as to what is the same and what is different. I also have the students to tell what they would add, omit, or change in the movie to make it more like the original book text.

Great ideas:)

What an amazing opportunity! Thank you for sharing the link.

Great idea, Renee. What is the most popular book students want to read?

A lot of time the cover of a book is very misleading and causes students to not try it. I like the idea of just having them pick something from a hat that would be random.

That is great to hear, David! Which classics have your students been reading?

I notice classics among their selections. I am going to use the WKAR to share what others are reading and offer suggestions.

We tally who had read/who would like to read. I like the ideas in the article too!

We participated in a live Skype session with the author and illustrator of Dream Jumpers. I teamed up with our media coordinator who is now she is adding graphic novels to our library collection. The students were able to generate questions for the author/illustrator in the hopes that their question would be read allowed. The students enjoyed learning about how people can collaborate to create a book. It was so much fun. I’m including a link. My understanding, is there will be more of these live Skype opportunities.

They get excited when they know I’ve read it and am excited about it. Also, if I see them reading one I haven’t read, I ask them about it..and tell them to let me know if they liked it and if they suggest I read it… once they’ve finished reading it.
