The Commonsense Guide to Classroom Libraries

Literacy advocates Donalyn Miller and Colby Sharp follow the lifecycle of Sharp's classroom library across the year, showing us practical ways to support young readers–from weeding the collection before kids arrive and matching them with books they want to read, to evaluating and supporting their growth as they become increasingly independent readers. The year-round organization takes readers through planning and building a classroom that is responsive to students' evolving needs and interests. Includes classroom-tested tips for matching kids with engaging, relevant books. Includes wisdom and practical tips from experts in the field.
