Reading Encouragement
Students in our class have come up with many exciting ways to interest students in voluntary reading. I've given contact info for some of the ideas that may require some more explanation :-)

Some great ideas! Could use a few more technology related ideas - student book trailer contest?
Wow! That is quite a list. There some ideas I wish I had thought of. I plan to borrow many of these.
Student book trailers are on the list for next year as projects for the 6th grade language arts classes. It is great to have a group of teachers who are so receptive to these "hooks" for literature extension activites. I am thrilled.
Thanks for posting the suggestions. I heard a lot of great suggestions and I look forward to using some of them in real life.
