Beach Party:
Encourage students to bring in rubber rafts, inner tubes, beach blankets, and beach chairs, and to dress in beach clothes. Then invite them to read "in the sand."

101 Dalmatian Party:
Celebrate "101 Reasons to Read" with a Dalmatian Celebration. Read for 101 minutes then write songs, poems, and stories about dogs. Invite a local veterinarian or dog trainer to be your special reading guest.

Mystery Party:
Invite students to come dressed as their favorite detectives -- and armed with a mystery book to read.
