It’s that time of the year again! You’re probably doing a lot of sorting, packing, and disposing, but it is also the time of year to also reflect on what needs to be changed. This applies not only to lesson plans, but also to the classroom environment. Today’s episode will focus specifically on the classroom library and how to maximize your time now so that you’ll save time later.
As always, my main goal is to provide you with organizational tips that will provide students with independence when it comes to book selection. There is so much variety when it comes to classroom libraries and the way books are displayed plays a huge role in how students choose their next novel. That’s why if you incorporate these ideas into your library, the accessibility will allow even the most timid reader the opportunity to find a book they enjoy.
In this episode I share:
-
Two factors to consider when setting up your classroom library
-
Tips for making your library student-friendly
-
Ways to create an inventory for your book collection
-
Dos and don’ts of a featured book section
-
How to introduce your library to your students
