Book Talks: River Secrets by Shannon Hale and Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver
Kids are enjoying hearing about the books and are excited to check them out.
(editorial comment by Susan) Sharon and Shelly have expanded the idea presented at inservice to do book talks for older grades. They highlight the books and then hang the picture of the book and it's summary from the ceiling so the kids remember. They say it has really increased older kids' interest in the library. They used the ones I had on the inservice powerpoint and then added their own. Sharon says the kids follow her around wanting to know more about what to read.
