Fair Planner
reminds you of the
steps to take for success, including
an important incentive when stu-
dents achieve their reading goal.
The more involved your school leaders are in the Book Fair, the better it will be!
Keep your principal in the loop
with planning, goal setting, and promotion, and enlist their help with the fun challenge-and-reward program — What Would You Do for
Reading? Have a color run, silly string the principal, or paint his/her car with special window paint.
