Personalized Summer Reading Lists

Our student teacher, Mrs. Leonard, finished her time at Harrison School last week and we were sad to see her leave!  Before leaving, she planned a wonderful lesson with our 3rd and 4th grade students to promote summer reading.  The students created their own personalized summer reading lists!  



Mrs. Leonard began each class with a discussion about how to find new books to read.  She also showed the students how to use the "explore" feature in Destiny Discover.  Then, students were invited to preview books that were pulled that are similar to some of the more popular books in our library (Dog Man, Raina Telgemeier, Harry Potter, and state award lists).  

 

Finally, students browsed the shelves, used Destiny to locate books, and talked to their friends to get new book recommendations.  They added all of the books that looked interesting onto their list.



Most of the students left the library with long lists of books they'd be interested in reading this summer and they really seemed to enjoy the activity.  It's definitely something we will do again in the future!

Happy reading!
