EASY classification

["Taylor, Roseanne" <TaylorR@CFBISD.EDU>]

I am a new elementary librarian in a public school.
While reviewing the Easy section in my library I noticed a huge discrepancy
in books:

*       Fiction and non-fiction
*       large font (24 or larger)
*       small font (8)
*       five to six paragraphs on a page with 6 grade vocabulary
*       one sentence on a  page with kindergarten vocabulary.
*       most have 32 pages some have more
*       some have large pictures on every page-others have a picture every
few pages
*       some are "Chapter"  books

This seems to be an unorganized way to have books to shelve.

Do any of you have guidelines of do's and don'ts  for an Easy section?
