Promoting Reading With Reading Programs: A How-To-Do-It Manual (How-to-Do-It Manuals for School and Public Librarians)

Getting children to read - and keeping them reading - is an issue that concerns librarians, teachers and parents. This new guide helps librarians develop or enhance reading programmes for children. Each chapter has a theme that can be used for a week or a month of programming. The sections are subdivided by programme and age level (pre-school through grade two; grades three through seven). The themes tie the literature, book talks, films, activities, crafts and so on, into a coherent whole.
