in the Classroom Wish List program.
• Let students help choose the books they want to have in their classroom library. Give them the power of choice — they’ll be more excited to read when they’ve picked books they like.
• Remind teachers they can also create a Classroom Wish List on the Online Fair* and email it to parents using the Send Wish List button.
• Advertise the Classroom Wish List using social media.
• If teachers miss the Book Fair Preview, use pre-populated donation slips that list elementary school choices perfect for classroom libraries. Place them into the teachers’ book donation slip pockets. Toolkit keyword: DONATION SLIP
