Share! Celebrate! Advocate!
October 24th is BC School Library Day!
Drop Everything And Read!
Check out the BCTLA website for more information.
Get your students excited about reading by hosting a D.E.A.R. event in your school. On October 24th, you are invited to drop everything and read! Everyone should have a book ready so choose something you want to read. Teachers and other adults are great role models for students and isn't it great to have 15 or 20 minutes to read a book of your choice?!
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
-Involve the whole school! Get students into the gym or out in the hallways and read together.
-"Catch" students reading and take a picture to post in the library. The names of those caught could go into a draw for a fun prize.
-Extend the DEAR to once a term. Keep the fun going and create a culture of reading in your school.
-Have students choose what they want to read based on their interest and ability.
-Have younger students bring their favourite stuffed animal to read with.
-Read with a buddy class.
-Dress up as your favourite book character!
Please share your ideas for this reading event in the comments below.
