Exercising Their Rights

Put democracy into action by letting children vote for their favorite books. When it comes time for your classroom to start reading a new book, give students at least three choices to vote on. Summarize what each book is about so students have some guidance in choosing their favorite. Whatever book gets the majority of votes wins. After the vote are tallied, give each student an “I Vote 4 Reading” Lollipop or a “Reading Gets My Vote” Ribbon for their role in the democratic process.
