Use this Book Tasting Menu (Editable Version) with your 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. Edit the two menu options on PowerPoint and share a plethora of additional activities and book projects with students on Google Slides or by printing the PDF pages. This resource is great for elementary teachers who want to help their students find new books to read. I like hosting a Book Tasting Event at the start of new literature units. This helps me form small group book studies by learning which books students enjoy the most.
