Book Fairs - Booktalk! It’s practically the number one reason schools hold Book Fairs – to promote the love of reading! All across the country, children are standing up in front of their peers and sharing brief, passionate statements about books they’ve just read and loved ... a booktalk! Bookfairs Fairs Single Video What's a Booktalk? A booktalk is a short, engaging, and enthusiastic presentation designed to inspire others to read the same book. A great booktalk uses every one of the language arts: reading, writing, and speaking.

Booktalks are not just isolated events – one-offs, delivered from time to time. One booktalk after another builds a solid, supportive, and energized community of readers, eager to dive into books peers recommend. Now it’s your turn! We’ve partnered with Schooltube on a fun new project we know you’ll enjoy. Browse through the videos, individually or as a class. Why Does It Work? We Booktalk Every Day! So join us!
