Reading Through Book Events

Rating: 18
I love hearing about the creative ways that schools celebrate books with children. There’s been a lot lately on the net, because of World Book Day in the UK, and Read Across America in the US–from children dressing up as their favorite book character (and at some schools, even the teachers did–now THAT would be fun to see!), to students watching their principal and vice-principal eat green eggs and ham, to a reading tent in the playground, to designing a book cover, to students designing their own bookmarks. One library–Clare County Library–even has a Get Caught Reading Photography Competition for children.
