Finding the Right Book

Help me give my students an organized library with new book bins. Everyone reads at a different level and finding a just-right book easily is important.

My Project

Finding the right book to read isn't always easy. Keeping our library organized is important. These book bins will allow us to group books of the same level and keep series together.

When you are excited to read the next book in a series, it should be easy to find!

Now that my second graders are reading chapter books, they love to read every book in a series. With so many hands in our library, it is often hard to keep track of the books.

The students in my class who are just starting to read need to be able to see what their choices are. Organizing books by reading level helps them find the "just right" book to read.
