Genre-Tasting Café Fun in the AISM Library!

Our Grade 6 students enjoyed a trip to Book Café this week where they had the opportunity to sample several different “tasting dishes” from a wide range of book genres. Mr. Vernijo and Ms. Terry were dressed up as wait staff and took orders and delivered dishes to the patrons. We are happy to say that many liked what they tried so much they took the items “to-go!”

Sometimes, when a young person says they don’t like to read, it is because they have not had enough exposure to books of different genres (adventure, fantasy, true survival, sports non-fiction, to name a few) and in different formats (audio, print, digital, graphic novels).  

By giving students more choice in what they are reading, and by putting outstanding books in their hands, they have a better chance to grow into life-long readers.
