November Reading Events

I Read Canadian Day

Nicola Campbell, Robert Munsch, Roch Carrier, David Bouchard, Gordon Korman, Christopher Paul Curtis, Kenneth Oppel, Dennis Lee …

Canada is home to phenomenal writers of world class stories, and November TBD is the day to celebrate them.

 I Read Canadian Day will take place on November 2. This is a great time to show our pride in our home grown talent.

Consider celebrating by:

• displaying Canadian books around your school
• hosting a Drop Everything and Read time dedicated to Canadian authors
• have students bring their favorite Canadian stuffed animal to school and read a Canadian story to it
• read a wacky Canadian poem to your school
• host an author’s visit

The ideas are endless!

Did something fantastic? Share your event with the BCTLA through Twitter, Facebook or email at bctla@bctf.ca.
