Description
Motivating students to become wild readers is always one of my top priorities each school year. From ridiculously engaging read-aloud voices to weekly themed shelves, I am willing to pull out all the stops because growing students into readers matters. One of the easiest ways to achieve student buy-in is peer pressure! Getting students to suggest books to other students immediately validates the recommendation.
This resource includes…
*3 book recommendation templates
*Book Recommendation Checklist (anchor chart)
*Book Recommendation Checklist (for students)

My students compete for the opportunity to review books we’ve read in class. This is a great way to keep them focused, make note of details, and recognize all of the different books that we read.

I like to copy these on colored paper. A great way to get students to write a summary and to hang to display on a bulletin board! Add a picture of the student. Wish there was a line for title and author.
