Book commercials are like mini advertisements for books that students have enjoyed reading. Once a week, ask if anyone has a book that they'd like to tell the class about. This should be a short, impromptu teaser for each book that is suggested during this time. Model how to appropriately suggest a book during a book commercial. Talk about what information to share what information probably shouldn't be revealed. You can keep tallies of the students who have shared and give them a grade for it if you'd like. Keeping track of who shared is a good way to also keep a variety of students sharing.
The students listening to the book commercials should get out their Reader's Notebook and open to their "List of Books to Read" page. They should write down any books that stand out to them.
