Re: self-selecting appropriate books

[Laura Strickland <MayportMS@AOL.COM>]

I agree completely.  Allowing students to select books that they may enjoy is
MOST important.  I have several special education students who will come to
the library and select materials that are much too difficult for their
reading level. The students enjoy them for the day and return them on their
way out of school. I have offered to help them find a book. They take care
with the books and often come back the next day and recommend "Divine Comedy"
to a friend! Who knows? Maybe they really ARE reading it...or at least part
of it!
