Over the past month in the library, fourth and fifth graders have been reviewing a number of different genres. All students had the opportunity to watch book trailers and hear book talks from each of the nine genres. My goal was to help students find new books they're interested in as well as encourage them to branch out and try new genres.
The excitement for these recommended books has been intense! Every single copy of the books from the presentation are currently checked out, and I've had multiple students from every class request to be added to the hold list. The Westing Game, one of the mysteries that had a particularly compelling book trailer, currently has a hold list with 17 people on it!
In an effort to provide students and parents with access to the book trailers and book titles that were recommended, I've included a copy of the presentation below. If you click in the center of each slide, you will be redirected to the book trailer for that genre. I hope that the interest in these books and others will continue throughout the school year!
