Iowa Children's Choice Book Reviews
Students Review Their Favorite Books
Video by Gary Olsen (DCSD)
irst of all, this is one of the best projects I've ever worked on in large part because of the fine cooperation of our media specialists at each of the participating schools. I can't tell you how delighted I was with the outcome. In fact, I thought so highly of the effort, we made this an annual project incorporating the Iowa Children's Choice Awards books and authors. What a great way to encourage book reading!

| Life is not without irony. Asking children to read a book and then review it on television? We are using television, traditionally thought of as largely a frivolous waste of time, and we turned it into an incentive to read books! The students now become the teachers as they inspire legions of other children to read the books they so enthusiastically enjoyed |
