📚❤️ Read Across America Day is coming up on March 📚❤️ Read Across America Day is coming up on March 2…  it's the perfect excuse to celebrate reading in a BIG way!

Why not host a Book Tasting? It’s such a fun, engaging way to help students discover new titles, explore different genres, and “taste” books they may have overlooked. Students rotate through tables, sample books, and record their favorites on menus or bookmarks - and your room will be buzzing with excitement!

⭐️ This Book Tasting Kit includes lesson plans for K–5, editable menus, table signs for genres and categories, posters, and everything you need to make it feel like a special event. It works well in both the library or classroom.

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to celebrate Read Across America and strengthen your school’s culture of reading, this is it. ❤️
