How to use these bookmarks… These “More Great Read Aloud” bookmarks include titles that are not on the “100 Great Read Alouds” poster. Most include a statement that encourages families to visit the library and pick up the free poster. The bookmarks also include information on selecting books for each age group and tips for reading aloud. These are abbreviated versions of the full page handouts in the “Great Read Alouds” folder. There are two versions of each bookmark: 1) PDF that you can print as is. Be sure to check your printer settings so that the document is printed double-sided and facing the correct direction. 2) Publisher document that you can customize.
