Have you ever watched a preview of a movie to get a sense what it was about...or if you would be interested in spending your time watching it? A booktalk is like a preview, when if it is done well, will engage your child in wanting to read more about the book. Booktalking is an awesome way to get kids reading. Excite young readers to open a book, get them interested, and invite them into a story they won't want to put down. Choose a booktalk, and become familiar with the story yourself. You can be creative -- because who knows your child's interests better than you, and make these booktalks your own!
For a great site that has a large variety of book talks, go to:
