BookTalks
Posted by bookend on April 23, 2007
Parents, I want to alert you to a new resource for finding the right book in the Fairview LMC for your child. If you visit www2.milwaukee.k12.wi.us/fairview, click on the Library Media Center tab on the left side of the page. Next to the lion you will find Booktalks. Click on this link. During Spring Break I started podcasing a short synopsis of a book and a reading of 2-4 pages from the book to enable students to hear what the book is like. The book is identified with its cover photo.
I am not going to the classrooms to booktalk for the rest of the quarter. Rather I am giving a bibliography listing of the new podcasts that students can listen to on the website. My goal is to do the new 315 books in our last order. I am open to having other people, parents or students assist with this task. It is time consuming. but hopefully it will be a more effective way of helping students find the right book.
