Book Tastings are a wonderful way to get kids engaged in reading and familiarizing them with a wide variety of genres. As an extra bonus, they get to practice Read to Self and find good fit books. At the end of the tasting, they end up with a list of books that they can't wait to read.
I will set up 6 different tables. Each table will be for a specific genre. I will place a placemat, a menu, and a plate at each set. Then, I will put one book on each plate and a few extra books in the middle of the table.
Students will grab their menus. They will look at the book on their plate for at least a minute. If they weren't interetsed in it at ALL, they can trade.
