Friends and colleagues,

My third grade teachers would like me to provide lessons on how to select a
book.  They want me to guide their kids to select books that are both age
appropriate and grade appropriate.   This is what I have done in the past:

*       book talks
*       new book displays
*       the concept of checking out a "just because" book and a
curriculum-based book (think teacher assigned)
*       looking at the cover and blurb on the inside front cover or the back
of the book
*       student/friend recommendation
*       five-finger method
*       subject interest

What else have you used for this kind of a lesson/activity?  ( I must
add--The kids today are so regimented through-out their school day that I
kind of resent having to restrain their enthusiasm and their free choice of
reading materials in the library, but I am feeling the push to conform.  So
if you have any ideas or suggestions, please send them my way.

Many thanks,

Rosina
