Trying to wrap my brain around how to do this in the library. Maybe starting with my first grade classes. Hoping I can get a couple of teachers to pilot using a reading block every other week to come to the LC and spit the kids up so we can do individual reading conferences using their reading goals and reading notebooks. Any one have any great ways they do this? We are a partial flex schedule with only K students scheduled each week. Last year I did have teachers sign up for a 15 min check out time because several wouldn't come otherwise...Trying to think of other ways to do this so we don't have so many books coming in at one time (overwhelming as second checks out 3 books and we have 10 second grade classes)

LOVE this idea. We have several things required outside our doors so...Trying to figure out how to do this display... maybe close to the learning commons and highlighting a different class each month.

The most effective reading teachers are teachers who read! (Morrison, Jacobs, Swinyard) page106.
Getting my teachers to internalize this is something I want to focus on this year!

Sharing and recommending books to each other is an area I hope to work on this year. Using bulletin boards featuring kids and teachers is one way I plan to implement. I loved the ideas on page 92: add a librarian's corner to the school newsletter with book recommendations, monthly signature line to email, 5 min book talk at faculty meetings, highlight Scholastic and RIF sites in  my website blog..

After reading (and re-reading) this section I came up with a plan to step sup my game for this coming school year.  We currently do two Book Fairs every year that includes a family night in the library.  I would like to add a library card sign-up at the beginning of the year, a book swap at the end of the year, give presentations at some of our parent meetings, include book recommendations during morning announcements, and incorporate the Biblionasium website into the reading lives of my 3rd-6th grade students.  Wow! That's lots to prepare for the new year.  I guess I had better get started.

I agree with your post on the left.  I much prefer to be a reading advisor rather than the reading police.  Like you, I have been told to have students select certain types of books rather than what they really like (i.e. graphic novels).  Of course, I don't pay much mind to the teacher's request.  I usually confer with the student in question and play "let's make a deal" to find something that they like and that their teacher would approve.

The books that build communities section was very appealing to me. I participated in World Read Aloud day this year with my classes and we really connected as a community of readers through the activities . Google it if you are not familiar - I believe you would all enjoy the activities associated with the countdown to World Read Aloud day!

Being a reading advisor vs. policeman stuck with me. I dislike when teachers drop off classes at my elementary library and leave with comments like " No Wimpy Kids books" , or " they need to choose within their lexile level.
