Prior to the lesson, send a letter to parents asking their child to bring one of their favorite books to school. Have books available at school for children to choose a favorite if one is not brought from home.
Have children sit in a circle around the perimeter of the group area.
Have your favorite book in a pretty box or package. Have the kids guess what treasure they think might be in the box.
Open the box and share your favorite book with the children.
Share your special memories about the book.
Have children get their favorite books they brought from home and set them in front of them.
Have the children use their eyes to look around.
Ask the children what they notice about all the books sitting around the circle. Discuss reading identities.
Have several children share their selections and explain why the book is special.
End with a discussion about books being one of the greatest treasures a person can ever own.
Send children to their tables to read and share their books with their friends.
