CVMS ELA teacher Nicole Bobby and library media specialist Robin Renahan recently hosted a book tasting for students.

What, you might ask, is a book tasting? Well, just like with food, some students have a more finicky palate for reading materials. They like what they like and are apprehensive to try new authors or subjects. The book tasting was their opportunity to do just that.

This book tasting focused on graphic novels. Most kids like graphic novels so that was the easy part. Some only like certain authors and characters. The tasting encouraged them to explore new areas of interest.

It was truly a success as many students discovered new authors and walked away excited to read new books!
