Book Talks

We have started our second round of book talks this week. I love getting to hear about the new books that our students are reading.






These are some of the titles that we have heard so far and some that we are going to hear in the next few days. The main reason that I love book talks so much is it gives the students a chance to hear about books from fellow students. I try as hard as I can to find a book that is right for students sometimes I get lucky sometimes I don't. When students hear about a book that a friend read, they always seem to get lucky. 

When I have our reading conferences in the days following a book talk, I always notice the books that were shared are now the ones that are being read. Books fly off the shelf when students see that other students loved the book. We have about two more weeks of these book talks (we are only have two students share a day). I cannot wait to hear more of these talks and see the excitement over the books build.

Hope you are having a great week.
