Hello again! This page will lead you to a group of Flipgrid videos I create to promote the Kentucky Bluegrass Award books. I'm always excited to promote these books each year, but occasionally it's challenging to make it to every classroom for live book talks; therefore, I started creating Flipgrid videos summarizing each title and sharing the grid with teachers. The response was extremely positive, so I have kept with the tradition every year.

KBA Voting Party!Each year while promoting the KBA books, I offer students an incentive for reading as many of the books as they can throughout the year. I create a five-question book quiz, using Google Forms, on each book, and visit community businesses to ask for prize donations to help reward students for reading. I also purchase refreshments and decorations to make the event super special. After a student reads a book, they can ask for the quiz code, and in March, every student that completes two or more quizzes is invited to the KBA Voting Party! Students receive a ticket for every book they read, which they use to help them win the prizes. It's a lot of fun and something that students look forward to each year.
