Reading+Motivation

Ways we motivate kids to read
Students get a picture of themselves and a "Harry Potter dollar" to get a free book each time they read all of a series, all of an author, or all the books on a particular topic that are in our LMC.
 * I've Read 'em All**


 * Booktalks** that highlight genres, dewey sections, authors, student interests, and curricular topics.

Same poems for Pre-K/K, 1/2nd, 3rd/4th, 5th/6th, 7th/8th
 * Shared reading of poetry starts the library time with all classes (my classroom management technique)

****Book reviews** **
 * Students write book reviews and we share them online or through the Follett Destiny catalog.
