Library Literacy Worksheets
As a middle school librarian, I noticed many students at this age who still struggled with alphabetizing and numerical order, both of which are important life skills. When it comes to the Dewey Decimal System, the most important lesson isn't that students should have to memorize all the main classes, but rather to learn how to navigate an ordered system using the online catalog and understanding signage in order to find the information they are seeking. Understanding the difference between fict

Classroom Library Sign Out Sheet - EDITABLE
Classroom Library Sign Out Sheet. This is a colorful classroom sign out sheet you can post in your classroom library to keep track of books checked in and out.

Reader's Theater -- News of Ruby Bridges
This small group reader's theater is for 4 students. The names are girls but could be changed to include boys. This story is about Ruby Bridges told from the perspective of children living during that time. It was written for Black History Month. Most of my students have never heard of the people we study during this month. This is why I place such an emphasis on heroes of this caliber. I tie in their fluency study with history. It makes it both fun and educational. If you want more of these, th

Library Literacy Posters
This set of 4 Library Literacy posters may be used around the library to teach:
• How to Read Call Numbers
• How to read a Fiction Shelf
• How to read a Dewey Decimal-Ordered Shelf
• That there is Fiction in the Nonfiction shelves!
Many libraries are eliminating the Dewey Decimal classification from their libraries to make it easier for students to find books. But are we doing a disservice to students by not teaching them a method of organization which involves alphabetizing and numeric order?
