A Prom-Themed Fashion Show
Promotes Fun—and Reading

(from School Library Journal, by by Cicely Lewis)

““Short and sweet—that’s the cool, summery look of the cover of the novel Sequins, Secrets, and Silver Linings. Get the book to add the finishing touch to your look!” That was our student MC describing a model at our standing-room-only Prom Book Fashion Show, where students walk the runway holding a book. Our students haven’t always felt excited about the prom. Many are from countries where proms aren’t part of the culture. I came up with the fashion show idea while brainstorming ways to promote the prom… and reading. It combines two of my favorite things—books and fashion! Here are tips to plan your own.”

• Reach out to local boutiques.
• Create a buzz.
• Practice! Practice! Practice!
• Let the students lead.
• Write a grant.
