October
Book promotion: "Scare up a Good Read."
Give out orange slips students can use to enter a contest for each book they read in October. The winner gets a pumpkin to take home and carve. (thanks Kimberly)
Batty for Books:
Put out a display of fiction and non-fiction books featuring bats. Batty bookmarks (in the shape of batarangs) and bat mobiles complete the picture.
Drop Everything and Read: DEaR
Even if you don't regularly do Silent Reading in your school, consider participating in a DEaR event. It's a great way to grow a culture of reading. [LINK]
