Ever wonder what some Media Specialists do to draw in the avid reading enthusiasts along with the incognito reading lovers and even some of the most reluctant readers? Take a look at this year's event to get the whole school involved and walk away with activities to use with your students!

Let the Hunt begin! Taken directly from this year’s Florida Teens Read “Today Tonight Tomorrow” by Rachel Lynn Solomon, our students will participate in a school-wide scavenger hunt during Homecoming Spirit Week. Throughout the week students will receive clues that will end in one lucky winner per grade level for free Homecoming tickets.

Lights, Camera, Action! At the beginning of each year, the FTR books are promoted through our English/Reading department. Students come to the media center for our FTR Book Premiere Event that showcases the new list of titles. Books are presented as book trailer previews like at the theaters to grab their attention while students rate each one with x number of stars. This is followed by our Speed Dating With A Book Event where students have 1 minute to rate the design cover, title, and brief description on the back. These quick and easy hooks introduce a variety of genres by engaging our students in a non-intimidating way that even our reluctant readers enjoy.
