Kudos to you Kris for taking the time to examine each book and decide to weed some of them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169190903283077545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796823473694123815.post-79229539275199121772013-01-29T18:55:59.262-06:002013-01-29T18:55:59.262-06:00A big thanks goes to our cataloger Jane for doing ...A big thanks goes to our cataloger Jane for doing all the labels.

Some books actually moved to PIC, some got pulled, some to JUV. It was good to really see each book. We found duplicates as well. It is helpful to parents as they try to find books their child can or will read. Before they were having to look through all the books to find certain levels.

One of the main problems with my system is that it is super subjective and it would be hard for someone else to decide what level to put on the spine. <br /><br />Last week when I was in the Chippewa Falls' Library I noticed that they had Guided Reading Level Stickers on the spines of their ERs. Combine that with the conversation I had with our local principal about parents looking for books at certain Guided Reading Levels, and I am wishing I would have went that way instead! I know there is a lot of debate about putting reading level stickers on books... but it is super helpful to parents who only have a few short minutes to duck in, find a label and grab some books for their kids.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169190903283077545noreply@blogger.com
