Teacher Previews
Teachers are your most powerful audience – invite them to preview your Book Fair. They'll be more excited about your event and feel more involved.

Host a Teacher Preview before or after school, or during lunch. Send a Preview Invitation (PDF Form 35KB) to every teacher and attach a Book List. Make the Teacher Preview fun by providing themed snacks.

Here’s a checklist of the things you’ll want to share with the teachers:

• Review dates of your Book Fair and Family Events. Encourage them to attend the Family Events.
• Review the Classroom Wish List program and pass out Book Donation Cards (PDF Form 161KB) for the teachers to complete.
• Show the Author Video and encourage teachers to play the video in their classrooms. Have the video sign-up sheet (RTF 21KB) available so teachers can sign-up to borrow the tape.
• Encourage teachers to use purchase order dollars and grant dollars to buy books.
• Let the teachers know about Book Fair Curriculum Connections.
• Thank the teachers for their support!

Student Previews
Host a 15 or 20 minute student preview where students can get a sneak peek at the boks that are available on their Fair and fill our their individual Student Wish Lists (PDF 137KB).

Use the Classroom Preview Schedule (PDF Form 25KB) to help organize Book Fair classroom visits. You will find that heavy shopping times are less chaotic when students bring in wish lists.
