The idea is that you read a chapter of your chosen book aloud to the class, which gets them curious about the book and potentially increases library checkouts and a reading habit in general. The key to successful First Chapter Fridays is choosing books with a great first chapter -- one with an engaging hook, interesting main characters, or plenty of humor!For this list, I chose books that I did not want to put down after reading the first chapter. You'll find a wide variety of genres and formats (except graphic novels) to try in your classroom.
