Encouraging Children to Read via Displays





We have a selection of books on display at both schools. The selection changes every few weeks, with the season, a holiday, a special celebration, student interest detected by my assistants, or any special topic we want to promote. We are trying to catch a reluctant reader's eye or steer students to new ideas to them. It is possible, or even likely, that they don't know many classics and that makes a very good display. Another idea is to display award winners. We have many thousands of good choices in both libraries.






Currently, there is a display of Halloween books in both libraries. The students are most definitely interested in them. We get many requests every day and it is very convenient to point toward the book displays. Kudos to Mrs. Drope and Mr. Mandru for the hard work they do to make these displays.
