[LM_NET] IDing books for different level of reading in a MS library

[Joseph Vernacotola <JVernacotola@BARBERTONSCHOOLS.ORG>]

I have readers from K level to high school in my 6-8 grade building. Right now, 
both of the extremes (K and high school), are not well represented in the library. 
I am working to build up books for the low and high readers and still maintaining 
age appropriate content. Sixth graders with a K reading level don't want to be seen 
reading a kiddie book and a lot of them pick up books that are way beyond their 
reading ability just to look 'cool'. Do you mark books in anyway so kids (or 
teachers, who can help them find a book) know which are below and above typical 
grade level reading. Lexile numbers, color dots, ??
