Helping Parents with Book Orders

10/4/2015

Over the past few years I have noticed a trend in the books parents order for my students: Character books and trinkets, character books, and more character books! What about Pete the Cat, Junie B., or the Pigeon books?! It got me thinking that maybe my parents just don't know what books to order for their kiddos.

I decided to make some recommendations for my parents! I try to pick some trade books of varying prices, as well as a book pack. I tried the recommendation list out in September, and out of the orders I received, a majority of the books selected were from my recommended list! (Success!) I was so excited to see my kiddos reading great literature with their parents at home! So, I thought I would share my October recommendation list with you incase you are noticing the same pattern in your class. All you need to do is add your due date and class code, staple the sheet to your book orders, and share with your parents! Click on the images below to download!

I hope you find these helpful for your students and parents too! What else do you do to recommend books to your parents?

Hi Becky! I love this idea! Thanks so much for simplifying the order form information for parents. I already sent my November book order home, but I am going to use the first page with my January order (I send them home every other month).
Best!
