I found this image on Flickr, and I chose it because I love that it emphasizes the importance of booktalks. Booktalking is a great way to interest boys (and everyone else) in books.
Like a great movie trailer, a booktalk can be very captivating. When doing booktalks, you want to say just enough about the book to pique the interest of your audience. Don't give away too much information or there will be no point in reading the book. If you have not read the book before, be honest and don't pretend you have. The more fun and enticing you make your booktalks, the more the kids will want to read.
For advice on giving booktalks, check out the following website.
