Staff+and+School+Ideas

Heather suggested ANOTHER incredible idea to encourage school literacy:

//I think that is a wonderful idea to have students and staff record what they have been reading - maybe they could give a 1-5 star rating as well.

To piggy-back off of your suggestion, I know for our literacy days - our principal asks the staff to choose a favourite book that they have read recently - using Adobe Photoshop I place a photo of the cover of the book in the background and a picture of the teacher holding the book in front - and then I place a quote about reading or quote from the book that they are holding on top.

We print them on poster-sized paper - laminate them and hang them on in the hallways for the year - again it emphasizes to our students and school community the importance of literacy!!!//
