Help raise readers by holding a Family Event!
Celebrate reading and get parents actively involved in their childs’ literacy. Invite family and friends to an event. Attendance and sales will increase while family and friends help kids choose books and build their home libraries together. Try some of these great ideas:
• Before school—invite family and friends to attend an Under the Sea Art Exhibition. Student art work and craft projects can be used as Book Fair decor. Students can get creative and help increase Fair traffic when families come to see their creations.
• During school—Host a special Sub Sandwich Lunch. Take canteen pre-orders.
• After school—Grand Fish Tales: For some entertaining fun, invite students’ grandparents to share their best fish stories, a.k.a exagerated tales. Then shop at the Fair afterwards.
