Thanks for bearing with me as I try to figure out the best way to manage the Reading Goals project. I was pleased with the results, but found my form to be a little unwieldy and time-consuming to manage. Hopefully I'll figure out a way to make this easier on myself next time. Any suggestions are welcome!
We had fourteen librarians participate in January. I have put the list below, with author and title, and color-coded according to how it was recommended (Enthusiastically recommended, recommended, and recommended for certain kids)
Or, check out the kind of messy results with all the notes and everything, here.
