Pupils must provide reasons and justifications for their ratings. Keep a Visual Record Have a daily update of the total number of books read by the class members. This could be in graph or pictogram form. Junior children could write the name of the book in a book shape that becomes part of a growing display. Book Assemblies Hold daily book assemblies where books are promoted by teachers, parents and pupils.
Books are then 'auctioned' for reading.
Pupils can bid with book character dollars they have designed. Design Topic Have each pupil contribute one book to a class or group display. Pupils carefully examine each book and pick the 'one book' that most catches they eye. From the discussion, build up a list of elements that the pupils believe catch the eye, eg bright colours, unusual lettering, photographs. Choose the top ten most eye catching books from the display.
