The
primary goal of any school, education community, or parent groups is to inculcate the habit of
reading in children. And organising book fair is one of the popular ways of
getting children to read. Though book fairs also help in raising money for any
social cause, but its main goal is to impart literacy. Getting kids to
read in itself is the primary motivation
for book fairs and it takes a lot of efforts and focus on making sure that
children are reading, and thus developing a healthy habit towards books.
Running
a successful book fair that can get kids excited about reading new things takes
more efforts than fixing on event date and venue. Organise, Publicise,
merchandise , interest and fun are the key points to get more and more kids
interested in books and book fairs. A successful book fair needs a proper
planning and marshalling volunteers. The event organisers need to coordinate
with teachers, librarians, or reading specialists to understand what types of
books can interest a particular age group of children and thus finalising on
the curriculum and theme for the book fair.
Understanding
the need and importance of reading in the growth and development of kids, The
Lilian and Betty Ratner School organised“Barnes and Noble Book Fair” on
Thursday, Dec 3rd, 2015, between 5-9pm. The event started with a story time at
5pm, thereafter Jungle terry at 6pm , Crafts and others activities at 7pm and
Face painting and games from 7:30pm onwards. The event witnessed kids and other
participants in the true Ratner spirit. The percentage of purchase from the
book fair was given to the Ratner Parent Organisation and the Ratner School
Library. Ratner School book fair was all about raising funds to support the
library, while having a great time with friends and family at Barnes and Noble.

Book
fairs can be a successful and an interesting event if its a family affair too.
Schools should encourage parents participation by organising it during parent
conferences or open house in the evening. You can also look for having a
special occasion with a dinner or other social gatherings. Schools can also use
the family book fairs a way to create community at school or to hold workshops
giving parents tips on how to get kids read more.
We
believe, that book fairs are one of the best ways to engage students and
motivate them to read. For this the best way is to increase parents and faculty
participation at your school, and help kids in need. This can also be done by
inviting teachers to an exclusive event where they can browse through the
event, select the right books for their school library and make a wishlist
accordingly. Sometimes achieving the reading goal can become an ultimate
challenge when the educators agree to grant a privilege to the students who meet
or exceed them. The educators and schools can team up with their students to
plan the best book fair ever. They will learn the valuable skills, while
getting creative with their peers. Call to arrange for a Shaker Heights taxi

to reach the event venue.
