Grade 5 · Reading · Lesson 40

Reading celebration event

A READING CELEBRATION EVENT is a party with a purpose. It is the day your class stops reading new pages and looks back — at the books that made you laugh, the ones that made you think, and the ones you finished even when they were hard. It is also the day you trade tips, swap books, and hand out a few small awards. Done well, a reading celebration sends every kid home with a new book in their bag and a new title on their want-to-read list.
