  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The authors share an activity in which two fifth‐grade teachers and one sixth‐grade teacher received book talk videos via Flipgrid from preservice literacy teachers and watched the videos with their students. Students responded with feedback and suggestions for how to better represent each book. The authors compiled and coded students' comments and created a checklist with six criteria, based on what the fifth and sixth graders suggested, that teachers can use when conducting book talks with their students.</jats:p>
