target: C.R.A.B reading program

[Mary Ziller <cdslibrary@XOOMMAIL.COM>]

Does anyone know if CRABS is a proprietary or copyrighted
program?

Kids read a book per week in an assigned genre.  The genre
changes each week.

The children do a short book talk on their selection.  They
play library, book, author related games such as answering
questions about the books, listing as many authors for each
letter of the alphabet as they can, hangman using the
context of book authorsor titles.

It is an excellent way to generate excitement about books
and reading over the summer.  Kids enjoy sharing their
favorites with their peers.  And they like the games.  And
they like the popsicle served outside afterwards.  One can
do it with 20 or so participants.

Does anyone know of a contact person or originator of this
wonderful program?

TIA,
