First Chapter Fridays

First Chapter Fridays

This program is another fun way to introduce titles to a large number of students at the same time.  Ms. Moore records herself reading aloud the first chapter of a different book for all classes to access and listen to on the first Friday of every month.  Afterward, there is often a rush to the library to check out the selected title.  Even if the title has already been checked out, the book may be reserved by others for future reading and also gives the staff the opportunity to suggest similar titles or other works by the same author, all of which helps to introduce students to books they may not otherwise have encountered or selected for themselves.
