THIS WEEK'S LESSON PLANNING ARTICLE
Celebrate Books: A (Book) Week of Fun!
http://www.educationworld.com/a_lesson/lesson/lesson326.shtml
The calendar might identify November 17-23 as Children's Book Week,
but for most teachers -- always on the lookout for new ideas to
promote literacy -- every week is Book Week. For those teachers and
their students, Education World offers the following additions to its
extensive library of lessons emphasizing reading skills and enjoyment
across the grades.
The five lessons that comprise this week's Lesson Planning resource
are listed below. (Approximate grade levels for each lesson are
indicated in parentheses.)

PreK-12)
Book Report BINGO
