Description
Get your students excited about reading with this growing bundle of book tasting menus & resources! During each book tasting lesson, students will browse a variety of books, record their thoughts, rate the books, and then (hopefully) find one they want to read! This activity is a great way to expose students to more books and authors! It's the perfect complement to any independent reading program.
This resource includes everything you need to make book tastings work for you. There are middle AND high school versions, digital AND print versions, and MULTIPLE suggestions for use. You can do more than a book tasting; you can use this for "Book Tasting Tuesday," independent reading, sub plans, an independent First Chapter Friday, daily/weekly book talks, etc. The possibilities are endless and the digital book menu is editable.
