A fun reading activity to help students discover books they enjoy.

Two of the most powerful things we can do for our students is to promote reading for fun and help our students discover books and genres they enjoy. This teaching resource does both!

Use this activity at the beginning of the year to help students become familiar with the books they will be reading, or anytime you want to introduce your students to a new reading genre. Simply arrange the books in stations, and have students spend five minutes at each one. Then, students fill out a book rating form letting you know exactly how they feel about each one.

Instructions on how to set up the ‘Booklovers’ Buffet’ are included in this resource.
