Book talk

Book talk

Book talk or booktalk is a prepared introduction to a book to elementary, middle, or high school students. It most closely resembles a movie trailer, where the booktalker gives the audience a glimpse of the setting, the characters, the major conflict. In addition, the booktalker usually reads a passage from the book. Throughout the presentation, the resolution or denouement is never addressed because the purpose is to entice students to read the book.

Book talks are commonly used by school and public librarians, teachers, and reading coaches, to get a reader interested in a book or to recommend similar books. It is an excellent tool for reading motivation.
