The joy of reading

# data[].attributes.body
Second grade has been busy in the library.  Last week we had the book fair which was a real treat. We have been learning about the different kinds of books that are available in our SAES library.  We now know that fiction and nonfiction books are kept in different places and we are practicing using our book buddies to help keep the shelves in order.  Chapter books are also available, but we are very lucky to have so many picture books in our library bins.

Many second grade students feel that they are “too old” for picture books, but we have rearranged the library furniture to make some of our Caldecott and Newbery winners easier to reach. These books have wonderful illustrations as well as storylines. We are also finding out how pictures can help with unfamiliar words in a story.   All reading is good for vocabulary building, correct sentence structure, context clues and enjoyment.  We are looking forward to some holiday books and activities in October.

If I was a book, I would like to be a library book, so I would be taken home by all different sorts of kids.

Libraries allow children to ask questions about the world and find the answers. And the wonderful thing is that once a child learns to use a library, the doors to learning are always open.
