Activity Ideas
Discuss with students their own love of books. What books have they read or listened to that were special to them? What made those books special or memorable? As a class, using a computer program such as MS Excel™ or a simple paper form, develop an on-going listing of special books. Include title, author, and description along with what made it special. For younger students, simple words to describe the book can be used or a writing buddy can record their thoughts.
