Understanding the difference between fict

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?

My Research Sources Fill-in-the-Blanks Worksheet
As a librarian, I kept several different types of 'fill in the blank' forms on hand for students to use when gathering bibliographic data for their research project reference list.

The pages include fill-in-the-blank examples for print sources [book, magazine, reference book] and online/Web sources [online encyclope

Fiction and nonfiction are considered genres, but this chart defines fiction and shows ways it can be grouped into four major genres, sub-genres, and their definitions.

They would read a book, fail it, and take off to the library and try to check out books that were either not in their reading level or were too long. Our school district placed great importance on Accelerated Reader, plus I was
