Love this idea! What a great way to create a culture of literacy in your classroom. 💚

This is a keeper. Every Friday during morning meeting I’ll read the first chapter of a book and show a trailer. If a student wants it, they put their name on a post-it and slip it in the box for a drawing. @MeriwetherLES #3rd #readers
