Rockin' the Celebration of Reading

Here's a simple yet effective way to celebrate reading with your class, grade level, or school wide. 

Create a paper bookcase using black butcher paper and wood look border. I found this border at Carson Dellosa

After students finish a book, they create a paper book spine for the bookcase. I used 8.5" x 2" card stock. 

Create a fun title for it. Ours is "Fifth Grade Reads a Latte." It is displayed in a hallway so other grade levels can see it too, and be inspired to read. 

Have students estimate how long it will take to fill, or challenge them with a timeline goal.
