Eight Tools to Help You Host a Successful Book Fair
#1 Booktalks
scholastic.com/bookfairs/booktalks
I love booktalking and sharing books I feel passionately about. I highly recommend building excitement in the weeks before your Book Fair by:
• Booktalking titles that will be available in the Book Fair
• Advertising the titles around school
• Talking about speci c titles during the morning announcements • Becoming a walking advertisement for must-read books
When we share our enthusiasm for books and reading, it will rub off on our students. As we all know, word-of-mouth is extremely effective, and you’ll see how much your students appreciate recommendations, especially from their peers.
HELLO!
Grab a muffin, pour a cup of your favorite breakfast beverage, and get ready to discuss practical and innovative ways to run a successful Book Fair.
