5 Elements for a successful reading display

StoryWalks®, Storybook Walks™, story strolls, story trails, and book walks are all creative approaches to storytelling that invite children to move from page to page of a book displayed along a path, hallway, or fence. The original StoryWalk® Project—developed by Anne Ferguson in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library—was groundbreaking in combining physical activity with literacy. These early StoryWalks® were typically placed outdoors in permanent display cases and hosted by libraries, museums, and parks.

At StorybookWalk.com, we believe that the magic of a walking book experience can happen just about anywhere—with minimal cost and maximum creativity. That’s why we’ve developed a variety of flexible, accessible ways to set up walks both indoors and outdoors. Whether you’re using laminated pages or crafting your own displays, we’re here to help. In our experience, five key elements make a reading walk truly successful.
