One of my first grade teachers asked me to give her class my lesson on =
picking *Just Right Books* - I show them how to look at the cover, the =
dust jacket flap, the pictures, then reading the book with the five-finger =
method to decide if it's one they can read independently. I gave the =
lesson, answered questions, and sent them out into the stacks with their =
shelf-markers. One little boy took it all very seriously and I could see =
him pulling title after title, opening the book and trying to read and =
holding up fingers. I finally got busy at the circulation desk checking =
the books out. That same little boy finally got up to the counter and =
handed me his two books. He had a huge smile on his face and told me =
proudly that he found some Just Right Books. When I looked at the books to =
see what he'd chosen I realized he'd gotten two copies of the SAME book!
(PS: I had some returns waiting to be shelved and gave him a different =
title in the series in exchange for one of them!) Have a happy weekend! =
