EPISODE 12

I recently received a request asking if I could do an episode about book talks. I'm always so thrilled to hear from my listeners, so this one is for you Grace! Book talks are such a fun and simple way to create excitement around books in your classroom.

 

Today I'm diving into my explanation of what a book talk is, and why all teachers should be using them in their classroom daily. They only take a few minutes of your day! Imagine if you have one student share a book each day. Your class could be exposed to up to 180 new book titles by the end of the school year! 

 

In this episode I share:

• The benefits that come from making time for a book talk in your classroom
• 4 ways to make book talks more engaging
• Ideas on how you can have your students add a visual element to their book talk
• Why you must model what a good book talk looks like
• How talking about books can empower students to engage in independent reading
