LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Hi Theresa,
When I first took my library position in a 7-12 building,
the remedial reading specialist had a designated area in the
library with books set aside and coded
on the spine with an orange dot for reluctant readers.
Students did not want to even look at them even though their
were many fine titles. The whole concept really had a stigma
attached. Since that time the collection was reshelved and
orange dots removed.
I found that a bibliography of recommended titles for
the reluctant reader works much better. It also requires
the student to use the card catalog to locate the books
rather than spoon feed them.
Good luck,
