Book Ends: Book Collections for TK and 6th Grade Readers

Help me give my students a rich collection of books that engage the youngest and oldest readers.

My Project

Students visit the library weekly in this school community of readers. We have noted that our current collection does not yet effectively represent the reading interests or needs of our diverse community. We are making an effort to address this.

Our most recent collection analysis shows that we need additional books for our youngest (PS/TK) and oldest (Grade 6) readers.

This project would help build one collection of board books for our TK/K students and a second collection for our middle grade readers (grade 6). The sturdy fiction and non-fiction board book titles would be used by TK students and reading buddies to build print awareness and support shared reading. The grade six collection includes higher level reading level titles as well as high interest books to encourage our students to continue reading as they begin their tween years.

We aim to get students excited about reading early, provide a rich collection of books that reflect their changing interests, and graduate students with strong independent reading habits.
